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.

A special news bulletin from the Winrad Broadcasting Service, reporting on the twenty-third day of the U.S.-Israeli military campaign against Iran in the style of a 1930s–1940s radio broadcast. Iranian missiles strike the city that houses Israel's nuclear program. The President gives Iran forty-eight hours. Iran says if you hit ours, we hit all of yours.Tonight's report: Iranian missiles strike Dimona and Arad in southern Israel — Israeli interceptors launched and failed — nearly 100 wounded including a five-year-old girl — kindergarten damaged — IAEA says no damage to Dimona nuclear facility. Trump issues 48-hour ultimatum on Truth Social: reopen the Strait of Hormuz or the U.S. will "obliterate" Iran's power plants starting with the biggest. Iran responds — if its energy infrastructure is hit, all U.S. and Israeli energy assets in the region will be targeted. 22 nations sign joint statement condemning Iran's attacks on vessels and energy sites. Netanyahu says Israel had a "very difficult evening" — vows to go after Iran's leaders, installations, and economic assets personally. Israel launches wide-scale weekend strikes on 200+ targets in Iran and Lebanon. IRGC claims third Israeli fighter shot down and intercepts armed drone over Tehran. Defense Secretary Hegseth says U.S. has hit 8,000 targets and 130 Iranian vessels — calls it the most extensive air defense umbrella in the world. 1,500+ killed in Iran — 21,000 wounded — 200+ children among the dead. 1,000+ killed in Lebanon — 1 million displaced. Unknown projectile strikes vessel off Sharjah, UAE. Gulf threat level remains critical.Followed by "From the Homefront" — chicken and rice soup. Twenty minutes. Five dollars.
