The US Department of Justice has accused three Iranian and Iraqi citizens of involvement in nearly 20 terrorist attacks and acts in Europe and the United States. According to the indictment, these individuals, who had ties to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and Kataib Hezbollah, were involved in the planning of the failed attack on Fairford Air Force Base in the UK. One of the defendants ran the operation from a prison in New York.

Mohammad Gadi, a lecturer in international relations, said the Islamic Republic was trying to keep the level of attacks below a threshold that could trigger joint NATO action against Iran. These measures cannot prevent a possible American attack, he added, but could complicate security calculations and logistical support for the country's military operations.
