🥺 🇮🇷 AN OIL SLICK COVERING MORE THAN 300 SQ. KM HAS BEEN DETECTED IN THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ — AN AREA EQUIVALENT TO AROUND 40,000 FOOTBALL FIELDS.

🔥 🇮🇹 MOUNT ETNA HAS BEEN ERUPTING CONTINUOUSLY FOR MORE THAN A WEEK. Europe's largest and most active volcano has been erupting for over a week — something not seen since the 1970s. Continuous ash emissions have reached Malta and even Libya, more than 400 km away, forcing the cancellation of over 1,000 flights to Sicily during peak tourist season. There is currently no threat from lava, but scientists cannot predict when Etna will calm down. Its eruptions usually last only a few hours or days.

⭐️ THIS IS WHAT A DYING STAR LOOKS LIKE. The James Webb Space Telescope captured the Lion Nebula — a cloud of gas and dust surrounding a dying star. At its center is a white dwarf that is pushing away the surrounding gas and gradually destroying the dusty shell. Scientists estimate that the shell will completely disperse in around 10,000 years. Experts say the Sun could look roughly like this in about 5 billion years, after it reaches the end of its life.

💬 🇮🇷 Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi: In the Islamabad memorandum of understanding, an “end to the war” was declared, and there is no ceasefire that would need to be extended.

💬 🇮🇷 Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi: Qatar and Pakistan, acting as mediators, are only exchanging messages and remain in contact, but this does not amount to negotiations. We have not yet made a decision to resume negotiations with the United States.

💬 🇺🇸 Trump on Iran: One of the problems in Iran is that there is nobody to negotiate with. It's a problem. It's the only country in the world where nobody wants to be president.

#️⃣ 🇺🇸 Trump on Iran: Nobody has any idea how successful we are in Iran. You know who knows how well we are doing? Iran.

#️⃣ 🇺🇸 Trump: When countries need help, they call America. I don't always give it because sometimes they have not been very good to us. NATO wasn't there for us, by the way.

#️⃣ 🇺🇸 Trump on Iran: When you have to pay a little bit more for your gasoline, I will never apologise. I did the right thing. A very evil country cannot have a nuclear weapon.
