The U.S. Department of Justice has pressed charges against three suspected operatives backed by Iran, who allegedly organised a series of terrorist attacks and plots in the United States and Europe.
According to American authorities, suspects have recently organised a terrorist plot near the RAF Fairford air base in the United Kingdom, where US military forces are also deployed.
The indictment made public on Tuesday mentions Iranian national Mohsen Mohajeri, Iraqi citizen Mohammad Ali al-Hassan and citizen with two Iranian and Iraqi citizenships, Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood al-Saad.
According to the US Department of Justice, one of the accused allegedly communicated with persons in the United Kingdom from a prison in New York, where he is awaiting trial on other charges, while the other two allegedly co-ordinated operations by Iran.
American authorities claim the three-way has planned attacks on several European countries, which were carried out on behalf of a group known as Harakat Ashab al-Yam al-Islamiya ( HAYI).
According to the DOJ, this group has claimed responsibility for 18 attacks in Europe during the spring of 2026, seven of which took place in the United Kingdom. The attacks included arson, explosions, and a knife attack on two Hebrew men in London who almost died.
One of the main cases mentioned in the indictment is the incident near the RAF Fairford air base, where three suspicious vans were reported on September 27th. No explosive devices were found on vehicles, but a quantity of gasoline was seized.
According to American investigations, al-Hasan has allegedly started preparations since August, paying persons in the United Kingdom to monitor the base perimeter and organise the logistics of the plan.
He allegedly provided vans, barrels of fuel, and other materials that could be used for the attack. Cars were allegedly camouflaged as part of a fuel distribution business and a pool supply.
On September 26, according to the indictment, some were instructed to drive the three vans toward the air base. At least two of them were stopped from security checks while failing to continue on the planned route.
The vans were spotted in the early hours of September 27th by a local farmer who was returning home after a party and informed the police. In connection with this incident, seven persons have been arrested in the United Kingdom.
FBI Director Kash Patel said the eight-point indictment testifies to what he described as Iran’s determination to organise terrorist attacks on Europe and the US.
He claimed one of the indictees had sent encrypted messages from prison aimed at co-ordinating future acts of violence.
According to Patel, the suspects were involved in nearly 20 attacks planned in support of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard ( IRC) and Iraqi militia Kataib Hezbollah, which is supported by Tehran.
Meanwhile, Iran has denied any involvement in the incident near the base RAF Fairford.
