- The alleged plot involved three vans and prison communications.

## Summary

US prosecutors have charged three men over an alleged Iran-linked campaign of attacks in Europe, including a plot against RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire. The case matters because prosecutors say one suspect helped coordinate the alleged plan from a New York prison, while British authorities arrested people near the base after two vans were stopped at a security roadblock.

An eight-count indictment accuses Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood al-Saadi, Mohsen Mohajeri and Mohammad Ali al-Hassani of terrorism-related offences, including conspiracy to support foreign terrorist organisations and to bomb a public place. Prosecutors allege associates obtained three vans, prepared them with fuel barrels and sought materials for explosives; they also say British contacts surveilled the base. Five people arrested near RAF Fairford were released on bail, while two London men have separately been charged under the UK National Security Act in connection with related inquiries. The allegations have not been proven in court.
