Iran denies breaking ceasefire; USPS tables pensions amid 'cash crisis'

Key Points:

• Iran denies violating the two-week ceasefire with the U.S. and Israel, but President Trump accuses Tehran of failing to reopen the Strait of Hormuz as agreed, with limited oil shipments passing through and rising oil prices.
• Survivors of a deadly Iranian drone attack on a U.S. outpost in Kuwait on March 1 claim the military was unprepared and the Pentagon’s description of the attack is misleading; the Pentagon has not commented due to an ongoing investigation.
• First Lady Melania Trump publicly denies any ties to Jeffrey Epstein, calling circulating rumors lies and urging Congress to hold a public hearing for Epstein’s survivors; President Trump was reportedly unaware of her statement.
• The U.S. Postal Service, facing a severe financial crisis, has temporarily suspended employer pension contributions to save $2.5 billion this fiscal year and plans to raise postage prices, warning it could run out of cash within 12 months without changes.
• NASA’s Artemis II mission is set for a critical splashdown off the California coast after a successful lunar flyby, with the capsule reentering Earth’s atmosphere at high speed and extreme heat; mission control will lose contact with the crew for about six minutes during reentry.
