🔻 The Times newspaper: The British citizenship of the person accused of planning the ground attack on Farford Air Base has been revoked.
According to the Times newspaper, Mohammed Ali al-Hasani, one of three people accused by the US of planning assassination attacks with the support of Iran, lost his British citizenship last month for national security reasons.
The Press Association news agency quoted The Times as reporting that his son Mahmoud, the British interior minister, informed Mr. Al-Hasani that due to national security concerns, it had been decided to revoke his citizenship.
Mohammed Ali al-Hasani, who also has Iraqi citizenship, is accused of planning a ground attack on the British Royal Air Force base in Fordford from inside Iran and paying people in Britain to carry out preliminary steps and supply equipment. According to US officials, in August and September he employed people to scout the area around the base and deliver vans, fuel barrels and materials needed for a ground attack.
On Tuesday, the US Department of Justice published an indictment against Muhammad Ali al-Hasani and two other defendants, Mohsen Mohajri and Muhammad Bakr Saad Daud al-Saadi, in connection with a series of attacks and assassination plots.
American officials accused the three of collaborating with the Revolutionary Guards and the Iraqi organization Katab Hezbollah. The charges filed against them include involvement in approximately 18 ground attacks and ground attack plans in Europe and an attempt to bomb a synagogue in New York.
In connection with the planned ground attack on the Farford base in southwest England, two 24-year-old men living in London previously faced charges related to national security in the United Kingdom. According to the Press Association, al-Hasani left Britain for the Middle East a few weeks after the start of the war between America and Iran in February.
After discovering the ground attack plan, America withdrew its bombers from the Farford base. Iran rejected any involvement in this matter.
