The US Department of Justice has charged three men from Iran over an alleged plot to attack RAF Fairford in the UK. Prosecutors say the suspects planned to drive into the base on a September attempt, with deliveries carrying fuel and equipment meant to accelerate burning. According to the charges, the men were accused of acting on behalf of a newly named terrorist group, Harakat Ašab al-Jamín al-Islámija (HAYI), which prosecutors said carried out 18 terrorist attacks in Europe. The alleged operation was centered on RAF Fairford, where American B-1B bombers were based. The DOJ said the September plan involved trying to enter the airfield and using large quantities of flammable materials. One suspect, Mohsen Mohadžerí, is accused of directing and paying Hasani to carry out preparatory steps and handle logistics for the attack. US prosecutors said Hasani arranged operational monitoring of the Fairford perimeter on 22 August and paid people involved in September. The charges describe materials that included gasoline fuel containers, ignition accelerants, and large amounts of potassium chloride, along with metal objects prosecutors say could be used as shrapnel. On 26 September, Hasani allegedly ordered people to travel to the base in three vans, some loaded with fuel barrels. US authorities said Hasani stayed in frequent contact with three drivers. The plot was disrupted when a farmer alerted police in the morning, and two of the vehicles were stopped by barriers at the entrances to the airport. In addition to the Fairford attempt, prosecutors said the same network was linked to nearly 20 attempted attacks connected to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards and the Iran-aligned militia Katáib Hizballáh. The suspects are listed by name as Mohadžerí, Muhammad Ali Hasani, and Muhammad Bakir Saad Davúd, who has both Iraqi and Iranian citizenship. Iran denies involvement. The latest status is that the men have been charged by the US in the cases described, with the British detentions at the time of the incident not leading to an indicated lasting custody outcome in the available reporting.
