The US Justice Department charged three men it describes as Iranian operatives over an alleged September plot against RAF Fairford, a US-used airbase in England, on Tuesday, 10 November 2026. Prosecutors said one suspect directed individuals to drive vans, some carrying fuel barrels, to the base, which housed US military aircraft and personnel. Deutsche Welle reported that US prosecutors also claim the men planned a campaign of terror targeting Jewish communities and the UK airbase. The Fairford incident prompted the withdrawal of US bombers stationed there for operations against Iran, according to Deutsche Welle. The sources do not say whether the suspects are in custody or when the case will proceed to court.
