Live from NPR news on trial Snyder, the US and Iran say they have paused atta...

diplomatic messages are being exchanged, but Iran's allies are still launching attacks

on the region, as in Burazhina Raffrey ports.

Jordan said Monday, "It's shot down missiles in its airspace. It's at one of them fell on a home in the Karak region after being intercepted." The Jordanian government said there were no injuries. There were no immediate claims of responsibility but Iranian-backed militias in Iraq have been firing at U.S. military targets in Jordan.

Meanwhile, the Saudi Defense Ministry said it intercepted drones launched from Iraq. Several Iraqi militias are part of a broad Iranian-backed alliance that includes Yemen, where Houthi rebels and Saudi Arabia have traded attacks. Jain Arath and Piyar News, among President Trump said today that the U.S. is having good talks with Iran, and that there is a chance of a deal, but he warned that U.S. strikes

would resume if negotiations fail.

Iran's foreign ministry spokesman says messages are being passed through mediators,

but that there are no direct negotiations. A tornado caused extensive damage in suburban northeastern Wisconsin, the Sanctuary, and about 40 minutes south of Green Bay.

Wisconsin Public Radio's Joe Schultz was there, and spoke to residents who are picking

up the pieces. National Weather Service issued a tornado warning for when a Bego County around noon. In the city of Manasha, the storm left overturned cars, uprooted trees, and destroyed homes and businesses. Manasha resident Chris Silver's house was left standing, but he says his neighbors' homes

were completely ripped to shreds. "I feel absolutely terrible for my neighbors. They're picking through to stuff. They're whole lives. Everything.

They're kids close. It's gone." Local police warned people not to try to drive into the city to allow streets to be cleared. For NPR News, I'm Joe Schultz, in Manasha, Wisconsin.

"Cracker Barrel says it's CEO is stepping down.

The announcement comes almost a year after the company drew a social and political fire storm by redesigning its logo, as NPR's only in Assyllia, Creepewords." Cracker Barrel CEO Julie Masino joined the company three years ago from Taco Bell, and she set off to reinvigorate the chain with big changes. Two things added to the menu, store renovations with fewer chaacheques and more bright white

walls, and the infamous logo redesign. Outwent the barrel and the old timer leaning on it, wearing overalls, only the words "cracker Barrel" remained in a sleek font. The social media fueled backlash was instant, critics accused the company of "wokeness" or betraying its roots, President Trumpoyden, sales dropped.

Now sales are actually trending better, but Masino is out as CEO. Her successor is David Dino, who comes from Blumenbrands, home of Outbackstake House. Ileena Silluch and PR News. And you're listening to NPR News. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to meet with President Trump at the White

House tomorrow. His visit follows a call from New York City mayors Iran-Mam Dani, that Netanyahu will be arrested on war crimes charges. Maldani said last week that the federal government should execute an arrest warrant from the International Criminal Court when Netanyahu is in the city for the UN General Assembly

in September. On Sunday, Netanyahu dismissed the charges as bogus. Mayor Maldani is following through on a campaign promise to have cast in bomb reports on the city advancing plans for government-run grocery stores with cheaper prices. Here's Iran-Mam Dani is looking for operators to run five government-owned groceries across

the city, which will feature a core group of stable products at reduced prices. Once a month, our five-city-run grocery stores will set prices for this course set of goods at 30% below typical retail prices. They can charge less because the stores will operate rent-free in government-owned buildings. Mayor Maldani pushed back against concerns that they'll put small local shops out of business.

And then you are speaking about a dense neighborhood, there is more than enough market for both existing groceries as well as one city-run grocery store.

Plans call for the first store to open by the end of 2027.
