Trump: Agreement with Iran only if U.S. “red lines” are respected

Date:

U.S. President Donald Trump will sign an agreement with Iran only if the “red lines” set by Washington are met, a White House official said on Friday following a meeting between the president and his advisers, after which no public announcements were made.

“The meeting in the Situation Room has concluded and lasted approximately two hours. President Trump will sign an agreement only if it is good for America and if his red lines are respected. Iran cannot possess nuclear weapons,” the official told Agence France-Presse (AFP).

Earlier, The New York Times reported that Trump left the two-hour meeting without a decision being reached, despite having previously stated that he intended to make a “final decision.”

According to Trump, the agreement aimed at extending the ceasefire would include the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, Iran’s commitment never to develop a nuclear bomb, and the transfer of its enriched uranium to the United States.

ON THIS DAY: 3.4-billion-year-old fossils revealed (1977)

On 23 October 1977, palaeontologist Elso Barghoorn announced the discovery of fossilised single-celled organisms estimated to be 3.4 billion years old, offering remarkable evidence of life on the early Earth. The announcement highlighted the possibility that microscopic life had emerged relatively early in Earth's history, long before plants, animals or other complex organisms appeared. Barghoorn was known for his pioneering work in palaeobiology, particularly his research into ancient microorganisms and the origins of life. Why ancient microfossils matter Unlike the fossilised bones and shells commonly associated with prehistoric life, ancient microfossils can be extremely difficult to identify. Their structures are tiny, and geological processes over billions of years can alter or obscure their original appearance. Researchers study these specimens to understand when life first appeared, what early organisms may have looked like and the environments in which they survived. Evidence of such ancient life is also important to astrobiology, as scientists investigate whether similar conditions might have supported microorganisms elsewhere in the solar system. The continuing search for Earth's earliest life The interpretation of some of the world's oldest proposed microfossils remains a subject of scientific debate. Structures that resemble microorganisms can sometimes form through non-biological processes, making independent chemical and geological evidence essential. Nevertheless, Barghoorn's work helped establish the study of ancient microscopic life as a major field of scientific research. Nearly half a century after his 1977 announcement, the search for Earth's earliest organisms continues to reshape our understanding of how life began.
