Summary
President Donald Trump issued a new warning to Iran on Wednesday, saying that if the regime doesn't come to an agreement, the “bombing starts,” and it will be "at a much higher level and intensity than it was before.” Trump also said that if Iran honors what has been agreed to, Operation Epic Fury could end and the Strait of Hormuz could reopen. The World Health Organization said three individuals, two of them seriously ill, were evacuated on Wednesday from a luxury cruise ship hit by a deadly hantavirus outbreak and marooned for days off the coast of Cape Verde. Ship operator Oceanwide Expeditions said the MV Hondius, which has nearly 150 people on board, is expected to head next to Spain's Canary Islands, but the regional government says it's opposed to the idea. Three people have so far died in the outbreak.
