With less than a month to go until Iowans head to caucus on February 3rd, former Vice President Joe Biden is betting big on foreign policy, launching a revamped foreign policy ad with a fresh focus on Iran in the wake of escalating tensions between that country and the United States.

The ad, entitled ‘Tested,’ updates a previous version that first hit the airwaves in November with a new focus on Iran, beginning with news reports following the U.S. airstrikes that killed Iranian General Qasem Soleimani.

“We live in the most dangerous moment in a generation. Our world, set on edge,” a narrator says over black and white photos of protests with torn American flags.

“This is a moment that requires strong, steady, stable leadership. We need someone tested, and trusted around the world. Joe Biden -- a president with the experience to lead on day one,” the ad continues, showing images of Biden as vice president and echoing the pitch Biden often gives to voters on the trail that there is no time for “on the job training” for the next president.

The Iowa ad is part of their previously announced $4 million-dollar ad buy in the state, and will air in the Des Moines, Cedar Rapids, Quad Cities, Sioux City broadcast markets, as well as on Hulu statewide.
