Episode Synopsis

On today's Watchman Newscast, host Erick Stakelbeck breaks down what could be the first major foreign policy test of the Biden administration--the deadly rocket attack that struck a U.S base in northern Iraq on Monday, February 15th. One American service member and several American contractors were injured in the assault and a foreign contractor who had worked closely with U.S. forces was killed.

The Biden administration has vowed to hold the perpetrators accountable--but will they? Or will Iran win out yet again?
