The Department of Justice unsealed an eight-count indictment Tuesday charging three men with terrorism-related offenses for allegedly supporting Iran-backed groups in a campaign of attacks across Europe and the United States.

The defendants are Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood al-Saadi, a dual Iranian-Iraqi national; Mohsen Mohajeri, an Iranian national; and Mohammad Ali al-Hassani, an Iraqi national. Only al-Saadi is in U.S. custody after his earlier arrest. Prosecutors say the men acted on behalf of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and Iraq's Kata'ib Hezbollah, both designated foreign terrorist organizations.

The charges center on nearly 20 attacks and attempted attacks, including a September 2026 plot at RAF Fairford in the United Kingdom where U.S. forces were stationed. Authorities allege the men directed surveillance, procured vehicles and fuel, researched accelerants, and purchased materials for explosives. Seven of the claimed attacks occurred in the UK, involving arsons, explosives, and a stabbing of two Jewish men in London.

Attorney General Todd Blanche stated that anyone plotting against American service members will face prosecution. U.S. Attorney Jamie McDonald said the defendants helped orchestrate terror targeting Jewish communities and the British base housing U.S. personnel. McDonald noted that al-Saadi continued coordinating from jail using coded messages with relatives.

The indictment includes counts of providing material support to designated terrorist organizations, conspiring to commit acts of terrorism, and financing terrorism. Several charges carry potential life sentences. The case underscores the persistent threat from Iran and its proxies to U.S. interests and allies.
