Iran submitted its response to the latest US proposal to end 10 weeks of war, the state-run Islamic Republic News Agency reported, without giving any further details. The proposal implies Iran’s acceptance would end the conflict, which has killed thousands of people across the Middle East and sent energy prices soaring. The two sides would still need to negotiate a deal over Iran’s nuclear program, which remains a critical sticking point.

In Spain’s Canary Islands, a cruise ship at the center of a deadly hantavirus outbreak is starting the process of evacuating passengers, almost a month after the contagious disease broke out. On arrival, they will be screened and told what they should monitor for the next six weeks, according to Anaïs Legand, technical lead for viral hemorrhagic fevers at the World Health Organization. “Obviously, the next priority is to ensure passengers and crew feel safe enough and receive the adequate support they need in a situation that can be very frightening,” she said.

The ship has just completed weapons system testing off the coast of Crete and was deployed to help defend Cyprus at the start of the conflict.

Iran’s suggestions include setting a one-month deadline on talks for a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and end both the US naval blockade and the fighting in Iran and Lebanon, Axios reported, citing two people familiar with the matter.
