The United States charged three men with being Iran-backed operatives who planned attacks on Jewish communities and plotted an attack on a British airbase. U.S. Attorney Jamie McDonald said one suspect, arrested in the spring, kept coordinating with co-defendants in the days before an attempted September terrorist plot. The charges were reported alongside other international news that day, including Israel's parliament being sworn in without a new government. The case centers on alleged state-linked plotting against targets in the United States and Britain.
