DOJ Charges Three Iranians in Terror Plots
The DOJ unsealed terrorism indictments against three Iranian nationals for plots including the Fairford airbase incident — the first US criminal charges in the campaign.
The Justice Department unsealed terrorism indictments against three Iranian nationals accused of plotting attacks in the United States and Europe. Prosecutors allege the men planned a “campaign of terror” against Jewish communities and RAF Fairford, a British airbase used by U.S. armed forces. The charges are the first US criminal indictments tied to the alleged campaign.
The Fairford incident prompted the U.S. to pull bombers used in Iran operations from the base, according to prosecutors. The Justice Department tied the men to a string of plots across American and European sites — including a major incident near the UK airbase.
