## Key points

- The DOJ links seven of 18 claimed spring 2026 attacks to the UK.
- Iran denies involvement in the alleged network.

## Summary

The US Department of Justice has charged three Iran-backed men over alleged plots linked to 18 attacks and attempted attacks in the US and Europe. It says the most recent involved suspicious activity near RAF Fairford in September, where US forces were stationed; the allegations matter because they connect incidents across several countries to a group acting in Iran’s name.

The suspects are Iranian Mohsen Mohajeri, Iraqi national Mohammad Ali al-Hassani and dual Iranian-Iraqi citizen Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood al-Saadi, accused of acting for Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamiya. The DOJ says seven of the 18 attacks claimed by the group in spring 2026 took place in the UK, including arsons targeting Jewish sites and a near-fatal stabbing of two Jewish men in London. It also alleges plots against financial buildings in Amsterdam and Paris and attempted attacks on Jewish institutions in the US; Iran denies involvement.
