The Iranian regime is “very careful” to distinguish the war in Iran as “Donald Trump’s war,” with assistance from Israel, says Alex Vatanka of the Middle East Institute.
“They look at American election results, they don’t see an America determined to stay in this war,” he told @nickschifrin.
“They think they can wait Donald Trump out,” he added.
Compass Points from PBS News analyzes prominent international affairs topics and America’s role in a shifting world, breaking down global conflicts, rising tensions, and their implications for U.S. interests. Visit the PBS News website to watch this week’s episode.

Epidemiologist Jessica Malaty Rivera said she is concerned about the “normalization of pediatric disease.”
“There seems to be a trend that is okay with disease, disability and even death of children when it comes to childhood diseases like measles,” she told Horizons host William Brangham.
“I do worry that we have become accustomed to preventable suffering among a young and vulnerable population because of a commitment to individual freedom,” she added.
Horizons from PBS News dives into the science, health, technology and environmental issues making headlines each week. Visit the PBS News website to watch this week’s episode.

Nearly two-thirds of Americans in a recent Associated Press-NORC poll said AI development is happening “too fast.” And as federal regulation stalls, Republican- and Democratic-led states alike are moving ahead with laws of their own.
Some states are taking on new frontier AI models, the most advanced models available, while others are creating rules around how AI can be deployed in health care, how children interact with chatbots, the use of AI in elections and more.
PBS News’ Tim McPhillips spoke with Will Clark, a fellow with the Technology & Data-Driven Governing team at the National Conference of State Legislatures, to explore how states are moving forward on their own to regulate AI, the limits of a patchwork of state laws and what might be next.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth awarded a medal on Thursday to the very soldier who admonished his party during a Veterans Day ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery.
Hegseth presented Spc. Thomas Iglesias with the Joint Service Commendation Medal for his conduct at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
On Wednesday, someone in Hegseth’s group was heard laughing as they walked away after taking photos at the site.
A Pentagon spokesperson said Iglesias had “correctly and respectfully reminded everyone to maintain decorum.”

The American Cancer Society is overhauling its recommendations for prostate cancer screening among middle-aged men.
The new guidelines say that most men between the ages of 50 and 69 should undergo a blood test every two years.
For Black men or those with a family history of prostate cancer, testing should start at age 45 and take place annually.
Prior to the new guidelines, doctors and patients largely decided together whether screening was needed.
Prostate cancer is one of the most common forms of cancers in men; more than 333,000 men are expected to be diagnosed in the U.S. this year.

Democrat Scott Colom won his long-shot bid to oust incumbent Republican Cindy Hyde-Smith in the race for U.S. Senate in Mississippi.
Colom’s victory is a stunning reversal in the deeply conservative state that hasn’t been represented by a Black senator since the Reconstruction era following the Civil War.

How has the United States military evolved over the past 250 years?
The nation’s military began as small localized forces that relied heavily on volunteers. The military’s reach expanded as the U.S. continued to grow. Eventually, the draft brought millions of American men into military service as the U.S. required more troops to fight wars on a larger scale.
After the Vietnam War, the military became a smaller, all-volunteer force.
“We’re able to have a smaller force because we rely on a number of factors of national power, to include our economy, our ability to raise and develop ambassadors and diplomats,” says Katherine Kuzminski of the Center for a New American Security.

President Donald Trump is pulling Vice President JD Vance off efforts to end the war in Iran, saying in a Thursday social media post, “We don’t need a deal with Iran.”
The announcement raises questions about how the president plans to end the war, and it comes after Vance pointed to the conflict as a driving factor behind Republican losses in the midterm elections.
The president is instead asking Vance to focus on what Trump has claimed to be massive corruption and crime taking place in cities and states run by Democrats.
