US charges three men over alleged Iran-backed plot at UK's RAF Fairford air base

US prosecutors say three men acting for Iran's Revolutionary Guards and Iraq's Kataib Hezbollah planned an attack on RAF Fairford, a base the US used for bombing missions against Iran. Iran denies any role.

Why it matters

Prosecutors link the men to nearly 20 attacks and attempted attacks across the US and Europe, raising fears that the Iran war is spilling onto Western soil.
