🛳 Cruise diverted to Bahamas after arrest warrant issued for Crystal Symphony
A cruise line is in a state of chaos after unpaid fuel bills caused a Miami judge to issue an arrest warrant for the Crystal Symphony cruise ship. The warrant gives authorities the ability to seize the ship if it enters US waters. As a result, the ship is currently docked in Bimini instead of returning to South Florida.
This comes just days after Crystal Cruises suspended all sailings following a bankruptcy filing by its owner, Genting Hong Kong. In the complaint, Peninsula Petroleum claims Crystal Cruises, and one of its sister lines, Star Cruises, owes them some $4.6 million dollars in unpaid fuel bills dating back to last year, with slightly more than $1 million of that debt coming from the Crystal Symphony alone.

🇮🇷Iran nuclear agreement unlikely without release of US prisoners
The United States is unlikely to strike an agreement with Iran to save the 2015 Iran nuclear deal unless Tehran releases four US citizens Washington says are being held hostage, the lead US nuclear negotiator told Reuters on Sunday.
In recent years, Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards have arrested dozens of dual nationals and foreigners, mostly on espionage and security-related charges. Rights groups have accused Iran of taking prisoners to gain diplomatic leverage, while Western powers have long demanded that Tehran free their citizens, who they say are political prisoners.
Tehran denies holding people for political reasons. The indirect talks between Iran and the United States on bringing both countries back into full compliance with the landmark 2015 nuclear deal are in their eighth round. Iran refuses to hold meetings face to face with US officials, meaning others shuttle between the two sides.

🇺🇸Biden Weighs Deploying Thousands of US Troops to Eastern Europe and Baltics
The move would signal a major pivot for the Biden administration, which up until recently was taking a restrained stance on Ukraine, out of fear of purportedly provoking Russia into invading. But as Russian President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly been accused of making threats toward Ukraine, and talks between American and Russian officials have, according to the Western press, failed to discourage him, the administration is said to now be moving away from its do-not-provoke strategy.
His options include sending 1,000 to 5,000 troops to Eastern European countries, with the potential to increase that number tenfold if Washington and its allies deem it necessary. Biden is expected to make a decision as early as this week, it was reported.

🔭 NASA’s revolutionary James Webb Space Telescope reaches final orbit in space
After traveling hundreds of thousands of miles through space over the last month, NASA’s revolutionary new James Webb Space Telescope performed its last big course correction maneuver this afternoon, putting itself into its final resting place in space.
Now, the observatory will live in perpetuity at a distance of roughly 1 million miles from the Earth, giving the vehicle a front row view of the most ancient stars and galaxies of the universe.
JWST began an extremely complex routine of shape-shifting and unfurling, a type of choreography that no spacecraft had ever performed before.
