The US Justice Department stated that Iraqi national Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood Al-Saadi attempted to pass coded messages to two other alleged Iran-backed operatives through phone calls to immediate family members while incarcerated in a New York jail. The report suggests these actions were part of a plot to attack a UK air base. Previously, British police intercepted three suspicious vans near RAF Fairford, weeks after Israeli intelligence reportedly warned of an Iranian-backed threat to the US-used air base.
