CVS Health's pharmacies will start offering one-day delivery of prescription drugs to people's homes, CEO Larry Merlo said Monday. CVS will launch next-day delivery nationwide and same-day shipping in certain cities, beginning next year.

Why it matters: CVS is clearly trying to get ahead of Amazon, which is eyeing a push into prescription drug delivery and has changed the way people shop for and receive day-to-day items. CVS' potential acquisition of Aetna also would attempt to stave off competition from Amazon.

Quick numbers: CVS posted almost $1.3 billion of profit and $46.2 billion of revenue in the third quarter.

The United States and Israel have elected to reconvene a strategic working group on Iran, with the first round of talks on intelligence surrounding the Iranian nuclear program expected in the coming days, Axios has learned.

Why it matters: President Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have sharply contrasting views of the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, but the resumption of the working group is a signal that their governments are starting with a serious and professional dialogue rather than a political fight.
