According to American authorities, individuals supported by Iran organized an attempted attack on the British airbase.
The U.S. Justice Department has charged three individuals linked to Iran for allegedly organizing terrorist attacks in Europe and the U.S. The suspects are connected to an incident at the RAF Fairford airbase, which led to the withdrawal of U.S. bombers. The indictment reveals that Mohszen Mohadzseri, Mohammad Ali al-Hasszani, and Mohammad Baker Szaad Davúd al-Szaadi planned attacks under a group called Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamiya. They claimed responsibility for 18 attacks, including arson and stabbings in the UK. The FBI director emphasized Iran's determination to execute such attacks. The suspects acquired vehicles and chemicals for their plans, and after a failed attempt at the airbase, several arrests were made in the UK. Iran's embassy dismissed the allegations as baseless.
