Passengers from a Dutch cruise ship linked to a deadly Hontavirus outbreak are returning to their home countries after anchoring off Spain's Canary Islands. Other top stories include renewed US strikes on Iran amid fragile ceasefire talks, deepening financial troubles at the US Postal Service, a UK rally against antisemitism, and the death of baseball Hall of Famer Bobby Cox.

Cruise Ship Evacuation Amid Hontavirus Concerns

The MV Hondus, a Dutch cruise ship tied to the Hontavirus outbreak, arrived early Sunday at a remote port in Tenerife, the largest Canary Island. It remains anchored offshore without docking to limit risks. Spanish public health officials, supported by the army and two national ministries, are conducting medical screenings on board. Asymptomatic passengers are then transferred by boat to a nearby airport for charter flights home. The first group, 14 Spanish citizens, headed to Madrid. No symptoms have been reported among passengers. The operation has sparked a political dispute in Spain, with the central government overriding local opposition to proceed.
