The news network immediately apologized for showing the grainy, 10-second clip of a cruise missile bearing down on an alleged nuclear weapons facility outside Tehran. It came on screen just as anchor Wolf Blitzer was heading into a commercial break, and took him by surprise.
“When we come back,” Blitzer said, “amazing video from Operation T.B.D. of U.S. air strikes on an Iranian military facility that the Navy says completely destroyed… hold on. I don’t think we’re supposed to use this yet … Are we? … No. So our viewers should… to our viewers, that’s… just ignore that.” ….

Note that the validity of this article is in dispute. Wolf Blitzer was not even hosting The Situation Room that day and Archive.org’s footage of February 12, 2012′s show (http://archive.org/details/CNNW_20120213_210000_The_Situation_Room_With_Wolf_Blitzer ) has no account of Wolf (or the guest host or anyone on the show that day) saying anything about an attack on Iran. There is also no mention of when this alleged video was shown in the program either.
