The Justice Department on Tuesday unsealed an eight-count superseding indictment charging three men with terrorism-related offenses, accusing them of involvement in nearly 20 attacks and attempted 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. Prosecutors say the men acted in support of Kata’ib Hizballah and Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, both designated by the United States as foreign terrorist organizations. The charges are allegations, and the men are presumed innocent unless and until they are proven guilty in court.
Prosecutors say the plots included a September 2026 plan targeting RAF Fairford in England, a base that houses United States military aircraft and personnel. Al-Saadi, 32, was already in jail in New York awaiting trial on earlier charges, including planning about 18 attacks in Europe and attempting to bomb a New York synagogue, and prosecutors say he passed coded messages from jail. The case is in the Southern District of New York, before Judge Colleen McMahon. Attorney General Todd Blanche said anyone who plans a terrorist plot on a military base housing American servicemembers will be prosecuted, and FBI Director Kash Patel cited Iran’s determination to carry out attacks in Europe and the United States.
The indictment was unsealed the same day Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent was moved from his Washington home to a United States military base after death threats. The move was reported by The New York Times and Fox News, the Treasury Department confirmed it, and the location of the base was not disclosed. Together, the indictment and the protective move show how seriously federal officials are treating threats they link to Iran and its backed groups.
