a Trump administration has no good options when it comes to the conflict with Iran, but he says there is an economic play to make.
“I think it's important to put economic pressure on what the regime really cares about.”
They need revenue. And if we can limit that, that might be economic pressure. So I think that's where the administration will likely go. I don't think the Congress of the American people would support her return to full-scale warfare. Burns is a former U.S. ambassador to NATO, under President George W. Bush, and he led negotiations on Iran's nuclear program. He spoke to MPR as he ran late to rest
the late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Lee Hamanay. Hamanay was killed in the opening strikes of the war huge crowds turned out for his burial in his hometown in North East Iran, which

Mexico will request criminal charges from U.S. prosecutors relating to the deaths of its citizens in the U.S. coming two days after immigration agents fatally shot a Mexican national in Houston.

“The American Foreign Minister, Roberto Velasco, says his country will take additional steps”
to protect Mexican nationals in the U.S. for mistreatment, more than a year after the Trump administration ramped up immigration enforcement efforts. Velasco says 14 Mexican nationals have died in immigration custody since the beginning of President Trump's term, and three more have died during immigration enforcement actions. We're going to move on from the diplomatic sphere and go directly before prosecutors
Velasco says, adding Mexico will also file civil lawsuits against companies that operate
immigration detention facilities. For NPR News, I'm Nina Kovinsky, and our most CEO, Mexico. In a private call with disability advocates, Department of Education officials tried to "quel concerns about recent changes moving at special education offices to another agency here's in Paris, Rocky Mata."
For months, the disability community has been on edge about the special education office moving
“to the Department of Health and Human Services.”
According to a recording of the call obtained by NPR, Kelly Rogers, who oversees that office, said the staff with expertise in special education will move to HHS, but that she would continue to oversee them from her purge at the education department.
She promised that federal funds and oversight of special education laws would not be disrupted
by the changes. Several advocates told NPR they left the call more concerned about how this move would improve the lives of students and educators. They worried the changes will make it more confusing for student state leaders and families to know where to turn if the rights of students with disabilities are not being met in schools.

of the Union representing cleaners reached a tentative agreement with producers and theater owners, Jeff London, has more. It's been a tough summer for Broadway. Brooks office receipts are sagging and some shows which have been sold out for decades like wicked have tickets available.
Add to this the stress of a potential strike from members of 32 BJ, SAIU, which represents Broadway's cleaners. They voted to authorize a strike last week, but came to an agreement with $5 an hour wage increase by the end of the four-year contract, as well as improved pension work conditions and health care provisions.
The contract still needs to be ratified by the membership to go into effect. For NPR News, I'm Jeff London, in New York.
