  "summary": "The US Department of Justice has charged three men—Mohsen Mohajeri, Mohammad Ali al-Hassani, and Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood al-Saadi—with being Iran-supported operatives involved in a string of plots across the US and Europe. According to MyJoyOnline Ghana, the group allegedly planned attacks under the name Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamiya (HAYI), claiming responsibility for 18 terrorist attacks in Europe during the spring of 2026, seven of which occurred in the UK.\n\nThe indictment includes an alleged terrorist plot in September near RAF Fairford, a UK military base used by US armed forces. Hindustan Times - World News reports that the incident came to light after a local farmer reported suspicious activity involving a group of men and several white vans. The report states that Al-Hassani, a 35-year-old Iraqi national, allegedly directed individuals to drive toward the base in vans, some of which contained fuel barrels, after paying them to purchase metallic objects for use as shrapnel and to disguise the vehicles as fuel delivery services.\n\nThe three men are accused of coordinating the plot through coded messages. Al-Saadi, a 32-year-old dual Iranian-Iraqi citizen, is currently in a New York prison awaiting trial on previous charges, while the other two are accused of communicating from Iran, according to MyJoyOnline Ghana. Hindustan Times - World News notes that the base has been used by the US military in operations against Iran, and that the United States withdrew all B-1 bombers from the site days after the incident. Iran has strongly denied involvement in the RAF Fairford incident.",
