NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
An illegal immigrant mother who ICE agents arrested after a deadly Arizona rollover crash that killed her nine-year-old daughter has now been indicted after toxicology results allegedly showed methamphetamine and marijuana in her system, according to Arizona prosecutors.
Brenda Rivera Estrada, 30, was indicted in connection with the April 12 crash on northbound Interstate 17 near Cactus Road in Phoenix, Maricopa County Attorney Rachel Mitchell announced Monday.
Authorities said Rivera Estrada crashed her SUV, killing her daughter, who was thrown from the vehicle. Three other children inside the SUV — an 11-year-old boy, a three-year-old boy and a one-year-old girl — suffered minor injuries.
Fox News Digital previously reported that Rivera Estrada’s daughter was allegedly sharing a seatbelt with a sibling when she was ejected during the rollover crash.

Arizona Department of Public Safety troopers suspected Rivera Estrada had been impaired after they reportedly smelled marijuana at the scene. Prosecutors said toxicology results later showed Rivera Estrada screened positive for both marijuana and methamphetamine.
«The suspect chose to get in a vehicle where she was allegedly under the influence of marijuana,» a prosecutor previously told Fox 10 Phoenix. «Multiple witnesses stated that she was driving above the posted speed limit, which was 65.»
A Maricopa County grand jury indicted Rivera Estrada on one count of manslaughter, three counts of endangerment, one count of possession or use of dangerous drugs and one count of possession or use of drug paraphernalia.

The manslaughter charge is classified as a Class Two Dangerous Felony.
Rivera Estrada was transported from ICE custody to the Maricopa County Jail following the indictment and is being held on a $250,000 cash bond, prosecutors said.
The indictment comes weeks after ICE confirmed Rivera Estrada, a Mexican national, had initially been released from local custody before federal immigration authorities took her into custody on an immigration detainer while prosecutors awaited toxicology and crash reconstruction results.

ICE officials previously told Fox News Digital that Rivera Estrada entered the United States through Nogales, Arizona, in February 2009 as a nonimmigrant border crosser authorized to remain in the country for up to 30 days. Officials said she remained in the United States beyond that period in violation of federal immigration law.
Maricopa County Attorney Rachel Mitchell previously defended the delay in filing charges, saying the case required additional investigation before prosecutors could move forward.
«I have said this many times: we have one chance to get this right,» Mitchell said last week. «Complex cases like this routinely take time to gather the evidence needed to prove a case beyond a reasonable doubt.»

ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations Phoenix Deputy Field Office Director Alejandro Almeida previously said Rivera Estrada’s arrest highlighted the importance of ICE’s Criminal Alien Program.
«The identification and arrest of Brenda Liliana Rivera-Estrada by ICE underscores the importance of the Criminal Alien Program and highlights the public safety efforts undertaken by officers with Enforcement and Removal Operations,» Almeida said in a statement to Fox News Digital.

US won’t move troops despite ‘signed’ Iran deal, as doubts linger over Tehran’s next move
Iran deal could be ‘deadly’ for Israel, former Israeli ambassador argues
Former Israeli Ambassador Michael Oren discusses the Iran deal, warning its specific details could be «deadly» for Israel’s security. Oren notes the deal fails to address key goals like eliminating Iran’s nuclear program, ballistic missile system, and state-sponsored terror. He expresses «great concern» that the nuclear stockpile and control of the Strait of Hormuz remain unanswered questions.

The Trump administration will keep its military buildup in the Middle East in place despite signing a new agreement with Iran, underscoring Washington’s continued distrust of Iran as the two sides enter a 60-day negotiating period.
«The plan is to keep the current force posture during the 60-day negotiations,» a senior U.S. official told reporters on a call Monday. «We hope to draw them down, but we’re not doing that yet.»
«The agreement contemplates the reduction of military forces in the region upon the agreement of a final deal,» the official added.
Officials said President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance and Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf already have signed the memorandum, and that the details of the agreement will be released publicly within the next 24 to 48 hours. A formal signing ceremony is expected later in the week.

BUILT FOR WEEKS OF WAR: INSIDE THE FIREPOWER THE US HAS POSITIONED IN THE MIDDLE EAST
The decision means the Pentagon will maintain a military posture that recently included roughly 50,000 troops deployed across the Middle East, one of the largest U.S. force concentrations in the region in more than two decades. Publicly available fleet tracking data indicate at least two carrier strike groups remain in the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility.
Officials repeatedly stressed that any sanctions relief, asset releases or future concessions would be tied to verification and Iranian performance, not promises alone, with one senior official acknowledging the two sides remain in the early stages of «building trust.»
That lack of trust was evident in the administration’s description of the agreement, which differs in key respects from accounts published by Iranian officials and state-linked media.
VANCE SAYS TRUMP ADMINISTRATION’S KEY OBJECTIVES HAVE BEEN REACHED IN US-IRAN DEAL
White House officials insisted Monday that no frozen Iranian assets have been released and said any sanctions relief would be conditioned on Iranian performance during the upcoming negotiations.

«The very simple fact is, $0 of unfrozen assets have been released by the United States or any other country,» one official said.
Iranian officials and state-linked media, meanwhile, have described the framework as paving the way for the release of roughly $24 billion in frozen Iranian funds and broader economic relief during the negotiation period.
White House officials disputed reports that any funds have already been released and repeatedly emphasized that future economic concessions would be earned through compliance rather than granted upfront.
IRAN’S REGIME SPINS NUCLEAR AND STRAIT OF HORMUZ DEAL WITH TRUMP AS VICTORY OVER US, ISRAEL
«We’ll do some small gestures of that in the beginning, if they make some small gestures to us,» an official said.
While Trump has portrayed the agreement as a potential turning point in U.S.–Iran relations, the memorandum itself is narrower in scope. The framework extends the ceasefire, establishes a 60-day negotiating window and seeks to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, the strategic waterway through which roughly one-fifth of the world’s oil and liquefied natural gas shipments normally pass.
The reopening of the Strait may prove to be the agreement’s most immediate and economically significant effect. White House officials said the memorandum provides for the opening of the waterway and the lifting of the naval blockade, though they cautioned that commercial shipping could take days or weeks to return to normal levels as mines are cleared and shipping companies regain confidence in the route.
Officials also said the agreement requires the Strait to remain open toll-free during the 60-day negotiating period. The administration expects shipping traffic to increase significantly over the coming days, easing pressure on global energy markets.
The deal, officials said, creates a framework under which Iran could eventually receive sanctions relief and broader access to the global economy in exchange for verifiable steps to ensure it does not rebuild its nuclear program and curbs support for terrorism and regional instability.

«If they’re willing to behave like a normal country, then we’re willing to treat them like a normal country,» one official said.
The prospect of renewed traffic through the Strait has already reverberated through global markets. Oil prices fell following news of the agreement as traders bet that one of the world’s most important energy choke points could soon return to normal operations.

Medio Oriente: el acuerdo presenta más dudas que certezas y deja para más adelante la cuestión nuclear iraní
Irán y Estados Unidos acordaron un memorando de entendimiento para poner fin a la guerra y reabrir el estratégico estrecho de Ormuz que se firmará el viernes en Suiza, pero aún quedan en el aire varias cuestiones y muchas discrepancias entre las partes.
El acuerdo preliminar deja para más adelante la espinosa cuestión del programa nuclear iraní, que se discutirá en los 60 días siguientes a la firma del acuerdo.
El contenido no se hizo público y las filtraciones citadas por medios iraníes y estadounidenses muestran grandes divergencias en el texto.
Cuáles son las cuestiones pendientes
El anuncio de un acuerdo significó un alivio para la región, aunque dejó a Israel en una posición difícil. Analistas consideran que fue el gran perdedor en esta guerra, más allá de los inobjetables triunfos militares de la coalición estadounidense-israelí.
Estas son las cuestiones principales pendientes entre los dos rivales:
- El estrecho de Ormuz. Irán levantará el bloqueo que impuso en el estrecho de Ormuz tras el inicio de la guerra el 28 de febrero, mientras que Estados Unidos suspenderá el cerco a buques y puertos iraníes que estableció como respuesta a Teherán tras la firma del acuerdo en Ginebra.
Pero Teherán insiste en que cobrará unas tasas por el paso por el que transitaba el 20 % del petróleo mundial antes del comienzo de la guerra.
El portavoz del Ministerio de Exteriores iraní, Ismail Bagaei, reiteró este lunes que Teherán cobrará unas tasas por servicios de seguridad y medioambiente, aunque no especificó la cantidad.
Desde Estados Unidos se asegura que esto no es así. El propio presidente estadounidense, Donald Trump, aseguró a periodistas que el acuerdo con Irán garantiza un Ormuz “libre de peajes de forma permanente”, según el diario The New York Times.

- Fondos iraníes congelados en el extranjero e indemnizaciones. Teherán asegura que recibirá 12.000 millones de dólares de su propiedad bloqueados por Washington en bancos extranjeros antes del inicio de las conversaciones nucleares que seguirán a la firma del acuerdo, según la agencia Mehr, que dice tener el texto. Y antes del fin del plazo de 60 días para cerrar un acuerdo nuclear recibirá otros 12.000 millones de dólares.
Teherán también insiste en el pago de indemnizaciones por los daños causados por la guerra en suelo iraní, según dijo Bagaei, que no ofreció más detalles.
Mehr asegura que Estados Unidos y sus aliados presentarán un plan para la reconstrucción del país persa por valor de 300.000 millones de dólares.
Desde Estados Unidos se asegura que todo esto no es cierto y que Irán irá recibiendo parte de los fondos bloqueados conforme vaya cumpliendo con sus compromisos adquiridos en el acuerdo.

- Sanciones a la venta del petróleo. Las sanciones estadounidenses e internacionales prohíben la venta y compra de petróleo a Irán, que vende en el mercado negro sus productos petroquímicos, sobre todo a China.
Bagaei aseguró que, como parte del memorando de entendimiento, “estas restricciones deberán desaparecer e Irán tendrá que poder vender petróleo, productos petroquímicos y derivados del petróleo sin ningún obstáculo ni problema”.
Estados Unidos no confirmó este extremo y países europeos como Alemania, Francia, Reino Unido e Italia se mostraron hoy dispuestos a levantar sanciones a Irán “en respuesta a medidas claras y verificables por parte de Irán en relación con su programa nuclear”, algo muy lejos de lo planteado por Teherán.
- Programa nuclear. Irán insiste en que en el memorando de entendimiento que se firmará el viernes se comprometerá a “no fabricar armas nucleares”, según Mehr, algo que ha reiterado el país en numerosas ocasiones.
El resto de la cuestión nuclear será tratado en los siguientes 60 días a la firma, según Teherán, que no dio más información al respecto.

Trump, por su parte, aseguró que el país persa suspenderá el enriquecimiento de uranio por entre 15 y 20 años, y que además “nunca” enriquecerá a niveles que pueda usarse para fines nucleares.
Además, la República Islámica diluirá los 440 kilogramos de uranio enriquecido al 60 % en su posesión.
- Líbano. El canciller iraní, Abás Araqchí, insistió este lunes en “la necesidad de un cese total de la agresión” de Israel contra el Líbano para que se cierre el acuerdo con Estados Unidos.
Para Teherán se trata de una “línea roja”, pero no está claro que Trump pueda garantizar que Israel no vuelva a atacar al país árabe.
