Summary

The U.S. and Britain launched a series of air and missile strikes against Iranian targets over the weekend.

The strikes were in retaliation for a drone strike that killed three American service members and wounded 40 others at a base in Jordan last Sunday.

The offensive comes at a time when foreign policy is beginning to become more relevant in the 2024 election. The Democratic primary in South Carolina took place this weekend, with President Joe Biden walking away with the win as expected.

We discuss foreign policy and its impacts on the election.
