The indictment, presented in Columbus (Ohio) and described as shared by the Departamento de Justicia de EE.UU., said the suspects planned to use drones equipped with explosives inside and around the recinto to trigger a mass evacuation.

Diario Mendoza Today identified the alleged leader as Abraham Hermosillo Álvarez, a Mexican national, and said that if convicted of conspiracy to commit murder, the five accused could face life imprisonment and fines of up to 250,000 dollars.

The same indictment also contemplated an additional penalty of up to five years of prison for planning an act of violence on the Casa Blanca grounds, as described by Diario Mendoza Today.

Israel shared intelligence with the Trump administration about Iranian threats to assassinate President Donald Trump, CNN reported via WSVN, describing the information as reflecting a desire among elements of Tehran’s hardline leadership rather than a specific, detailed plan.

WSVN said Ahmad Vahidi, the new commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), was part of the group advocating for such a plan, and that U.S. intelligence assessments showed no indication of a new, specific Iranian plot to kill Trump.

Rep. Adam Smith (D-Wash.) told CNN’s “The Source” that “Well, it’s very hard to tell,” while noting that “Israel would want to sort of buck up Trump, make him more willing to take on Iran more strongly.”

Smith also said, “Netanyahu has been pushing for that tougher stance, a more hawkish approach, to Iran for quite some time,” linking the Israeli assessment to Netanyahu’s interest in a stronger U.S. posture.

WSVN added that Trump downplayed the significance of the Israeli intelligence, saying “Israel came up with nothing,” and described himself as Iran’s “number one” target “for a long time.”

In the UFC Freedom 250 case, ABC News & Headlines said eight men were accused of planning a drone and shooting attack aimed to kill Donald Trump at the event held on the lawn of the White House in June, and that each participant faces between 15 years to life in prison if convicted.

ABC News & Headlines reported that the indictment lodged before a federal grand jury in the US state of Ohio charges the men with two separate conspiracies, including providing material support to terrorists and planning to commit murder on US government territory.

The same reporting said the documents accused eight men aged between 19 and 32 of taking part in the alleged plot to kill Trump, Vice-President JD Vance, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, billionaire Tesla and SpaceX founder Elon Musk, and “other high-value targets.”

In parallel, WSVN described Trump posting to Truth Social that “the United States has stated to them, in no uncertain terms, that the Cease Fire is OVER!,” while adding he had agreed to continue talks aimed at restoring a pause in fighting.

HuffPost | Western Alternative framed Smith’s concern that “the ceasefire has broken down” and that “we don’t seem to have a plan, going forward, for how to achieve our objectives, or even to stop the conflict.”
