Trump Pushes Iran Deal on Hormuz

Trump’s White House pushes for a 60-day ceasefire with Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, demanding Iran abandon nuclear ambitions and destroy all sea mines—though Tehran insists the deal isn’t finalized and insists on action over words, plus a truce with Hezbollah and frozen funds. With Iran holding near-weapons-grade uranium and global fuel prices soaring due to the strait’s closure, the U.S. seeks to dismantle Iran’s stockpile while gradually lifting sanctions—all amid deep mutual distrust and rapidly shifting negotiations.

Deep-Sea Worm Defies Life Limits

A two-foot-long, ribbon-like worm named Xenoturbella profunda has been discovered in the crushing depths of the Mariana Trench, defying all expectations by thriving without a digestive tract. Found at over 20,000 feet, where pressure is extreme and sunlight never reaches, this bizarre creature may absorb nutrients directly from its surroundings—possibly feeding on bacteria or dissolved organic matter. Its existence challenges long-held assumptions about life’s limits and hints at vast, unexplored biodiversity in the deep ocean. Scientists are now racing to uncover how it reproduces, fits into the food web, and survives in one of Earth’s harshest environments—proof that the deep sea still holds wonders we’ve barely begun to imagine.
