Headline: UNCAPTIONED: US Charges Three Alleged Iran-Backed Operatives Over Attack Plots
Caption: US Charges Three Alleged Iran-Backed Operatives Over Attack Plots. US authorities have charged three alleged Iran-backed operatives over suspected attack plots across America and Europe. Prosecutors linked the suspects to September's incident near RAF Fairford, where American military personnel were stationed. Iran has strongly denied involvement in the incident, dismissing allegations linking Tehran to the suspected plot. The Justice Department alleges one suspect helped coordinate preparations, including surveillance and payments to British-based associates. Authorities said suspicious vans were found near the base, with petrol seized but no explosives discovered. Another suspect allegedly communicated with British contacts from a New York prison while still awaiting trial. The indictment also alleges involvement in European attacks involving arson, explosives and stabbings of Jewish men. Following the Fairford incident, Washington withdrew bombers, with President Donald Trump citing threats against the base.
