Iranian media say the fifth round of talks between Iran and the United States over Tehran’s rapidly advancing nuclear program has begun in Rome. Iran’s enrichment of uranium has emerged as the key issue in the talks. U.S. officials up to President Donald Trump insist Iran cannot continue to enrich uranium at all in any deal that could see sanctions lifted on Tehran’s struggling economy. Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi early Friday insisted online that no enrichment would mean “we do NOT have a deal.”
Among those in attendance was China-born crypto entrepreneur Justin Sun, who won first place in the dinner contest with his $18.5 million wallet. See more on Salem News Channel.
Security guards opened fire on a woman who drove toward the gates of the CIA's headquarters near Washington, D.C. on Thursday, ignoring orders to stop, and she was then taken into custody, according to a person familiar with the matter.
The source, speaking on condition of anonymity, said a check of public records showed the suspect, identified as a young U.S. citizen, had a history of driving under the influence.
A CIA spokesperson said earlier that security staff "engaged a person" outside the main gates and then arrested the suspect.
The spokesperson declined to say whether gunfire struck the suspect.
The source familiar with the matter also did not say whether the woman was hit but that she was in stable condition after the incident, which occurred at around 4 a.m. (0800 GMT).
NBC News reported earlier that the suspect was shot, citing a person with knowledge of the matter.
The woman drove into the main entrance through the outbound lane, and when security guards tried to stop her she evaded them and continued toward the gate, drawing their fire, the source told Reuters.
The vehicle never entered the CIA compound, and no security officers were hurt, according to the source.
The FBI was investigating the incident, the source said.
The CIA closed the main gate at its Langley compound and directed employees to seek alternate routes.
The shooting incident came after two Israeli Embassy staffers were killed by a lone gunman in downtown Washington on Wednesday night.
The source said there was no sign of a connection between the two incidents.
There have been other shootings over the years at or near the CIA compound.
In May 2021, a man was shot by the FBI outside CIA headquarters when he got out of his car with a weapon after an hours-long standoff. He later died in hospital and was subsequently identified as Roy Gordon Cole. News reports said he was shot after getting out of his car brandishing a sword and that he had a history of apparent mental illness.
In 1993 a Pakistani man angered by CIA involvement in Muslim countries killed two CIA employees outside the agency's headquarters. Mir Aimal Kasi was eventually executed in Virginia in 2002 after being captured by the FBI in Pakistan in 1997.
Police say two staff members of the Israeli Embassy in Washington were shot and killed while leaving an event at a Jewish museum, and the suspect yelled, “Free, free Palestine” after he was arrested. Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar identified the victims as Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim. Metropolitan Police Chief Pamela Smith says they were leaving an event at the Capital Jewish Museum on Wednesday evening when the suspect approached a group of four people and opened fire. The suspect was identified as 31-year-old Elias Rodriguez of Chicago. Authorities said he walked into the museum after the shooting and was detained by security guards.

Authorities say two people have died and multiple others were injured when a private jet crashed into military housing in San Diego during foggy weather. The accident ignited cars parked along a suburban neighborhood block and killed multiple people on board the plane. Assistant San Diego Fire Chief Dan Eddy says the plane could hold eight to 10 people but it’s unknown how many were on the aircraft. He says authorities will be investigating whether the plane hit a power line. The aircraft crashed just before 4 a.m. Thursday into the U.S. military’s largest housing neighborhood.
House Republicans stayed up all night to pass their multitrillion-dollar tax breaks package. Speaker Mike Johnson defied the skeptics within his ranks and muscled President Donald Trump’s priority bill to approval Thursday. Last-minute concessions and a stern warning from Trump appeared to win over the hold outs to salvage what he calls the “big, beautiful bill.” The outcome caps an intense time on Capitol Hill, with days of private negotiations and public committee hearings. Democrats, without the votes to stop Trump’s package, tried to stall it. The Congressional Budget Office says the tax provisions would add $3.8 trillion to federal deficits.
