Based on reporting by PBS NewsHour.
The Brief
Top officials in Iran welcomed the results of the U.S. midterm elections, portraying them as a rejection of President Trump's war policies. Iran's Parliament speaker and chief negotiator said American voters sent a message against war, while the supreme leader warned that those expecting a change in U.S. policy toward Iran are gravely mistaken.
Israeli President Isaac Herzog accepted the results of last week's election and will consult party leaders on forming a new government, as neither Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's party nor his chief challenger's secured a parliamentary majority. Ukraine's air force reported Russia launched over 300 drones overnight, and U.S., German, and French officials met in Brussels to discuss postwar reconstruction, with the EU's foreign policy chief expressing cautious optimism about continued U.S. support.
