Trump claims peace talks with Iran but Iran says no talks happened—one side is definitely lying.

March 24, 2026 U.S. news roundup covering three major stories: (1) Federal judge rules Pentagon's restrictions on journalists unconstitutional under First Amendment, but Pentagon appeals and announces even stricter policies limiting press access to the Pentagon building. (2) President Trump delays Iran ultimatum after claiming productive peace talks, but Iran denies talks occurred and claims Trump retreated; at least 12 Iranian mines deployed in Strait of Hormuz. (3) Hawaii faces its worst flooding in 20+ years with 230+ rescues, $1B+ damage estimate, and compounded recovery challenges as communities still rebuild from recent wildfires.
