The U.S. Department of Justice has charged three individuals allegedly acting as agents for Iran with coordinating nearly 20 attacks and attempted attacks against Jewish communities and other targets in the United States and Europe. The accused are Mohammad Baker Saad Dawoud al-Saadi, Mohsen Mohajeri, and Mohammad Ali al-Hassani. Al-Saadi has previously faced federal charges in the U.S.
U.S. authorities believe the defendants were involved in organizing terrorist incidents, including a stabbing attack on two Jews in London and an arson attack on a synagogue using incendiary devices, particularly those occurring after the start of the war with Iran. The network allegedly not only organized attacks but also directly supervised the perpetrators, reportedly communicating with them via live video and disseminating propaganda afterward.
The investigation also encompasses several thwarted plots. These include an attempted attack on the British airbase RAF Fairfield, which housed U.S. military personnel, and a suspected plot to bomb a New York synagogue. Even while in custody in New York, al-Saadi is accused of attempting to coordinate future attacks with the other two defendants using encrypted messages.
Investigators stated that the network's activities were linked to support for Kataib Hezbollah and Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, both designated as terrorist organizations by the U.S. The alleged agents are believed to have controlled the actions of those carrying out the attacks.
