BREAKING: War in Iran Day 24 — 1930s Radio Broadcast | March 23, 2026

A special news bulletin from the Winrad Broadcasting Service, reporting on the twenty-fourth day of the U.S.-Israeli military campaign against Iran in the style of a 1930s–1940s radio broadcast. The President says he's been talking to Iran. Iran says there have been no talks. The ultimatum has been postponed. And the head of the International Energy Agency says this is the worst energy crisis in fifty years.Tonight's report: Trump posts that the U.S. and Iran have had "very good and productive conversations" toward a "complete and total resolution" — orders the Pentagon to postpone all strikes on Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure for five days. Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff reportedly participated in the talks. Iran's foreign ministry denies any dialogue — state TV says Trump "backed down" from his ultimatum — Mehr news agency calls it "psychological warfare." Also tonight: Two pilots killed at LaGuardia Airport after an Air Canada jet struck a fire truck on the runway. 41 injured. Air traffic controller heard saying "I messed up." Airport closed. 500+ flights canceled. NTSB investigating.Followed by "From the Homefront" — no recipe tonight. Dorothy Wilson says pick one room, set a timer for twenty minutes, and clean it. Five steps. Because a clean kitchen does something to a woman's mind that nothing else can.This is a news presentation — not opinion or editorial. The "Winrad Broadcasting Service" is fictional.SOURCES:Al Jazeera — Day 24, Trump postpones, Iran denies, IEA 11M barrels, Saudi expels diplomatshttps://www.aljazeera.com/economy/2026/3/23/iran-war-whats-happening-on-day-24-of-us-israel-attacksAl Jazeera — IEA worse than 1970s, 40 energy assets, Birol warninghttps://www.aljazeera.com/economy/2026/3/23/world-in-energy-crisis-worse-than-1970s-oil-shocks-combined-iea-head-saysCNN — Day 24, productive conversations, oil crash, Murkowski, Starmer, settler violencehttps://www.cnn.com/world/live-news/iran-war-us-israel-trump-03-23-26CNN — Oil plunges, IEA Birol, 40 assets damaged, gas losses double Ukrainehttps://www.cnn.com/2026/03/23/business/oil-prices-energy-shock-1970s-intlNPR — Trump postpones, Kushner/Witkoff, Iran denies, Oman mediating, Reza Pahlavihttps://www.npr.org/2026/03/23/nx-s1-5757172/iran-defiant-trump-hormuzCNBC — Trump five-day delay, Fox Business Kushner/Witkoff, Iran "no negotiation"https://www.cnbc.com/2026/03/23/trump-iran-war-power-plants-energy-infrastructure-middle-east.htmlNBC News — LaGuardia collision, two pilots killed, 41 injured, ATC "I messed up"https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/live-blog/air-canada-laguardia-collision-live-updates-rcna264682NBC News — IEA, China envoy, Iran state TV "backed down"https://www.nbcnews.com/world/middle-east/live-blog/live-updates-iran-war-trump-hormuz-deadline-energy-crisis-gulf-power-rcna264685CBS News — Trump postpones ultimatum, Iran threatens mines, LaGuardia NTSBhttps://www.cbsnews.com/live-updates/iran-war-us-israel-trump-ultimatum-strait-of-hormuz/Wikipedia — 2026 Iran warhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Iran_war
