Three Charged in Iran-Linked Terror Plots Targeting Sites in the U.S. and Europe

The United States has charged three men in connection with alleged Iranian-linked terror plots, including a September scheme against a British Royal Air Force base that housed U.S. military personnel and aircraft, according to an indictment unsealed Tuesday, Axios reports.

GB News identifies the base as RAF Fairford, a joint U.S.-U.K. installation, and reports prosecutors allege a campaign of terror across Europe. One defendant is a dual Iranian-Iraqi national and another an Iranian national, according to GB News.

The charges are allegations. The defendants are presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.

The case adds to growing concern about Iranian threats against American forces overseas.
