Two men suspected of plotting a string of terror attacks including on London wanted to acquire missiles and drones, according to legal documents.

The claim is made in an indictment by the US Department of Justice (DOJ) on terrorism-related charges against three individuals over their suspected involvement in nearly 20 incidents across Europe and America.

Iranian-Iraqi national Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood al-Saadi, Iranian national Mohsen Mohajeri, and Iraqi national Mohammad Ali al-Hassani have been charged in an eight-count indictment in connection with their alleged activities in support of two US-designated foreign terrorist organisations, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and Iran-backed Iraqi militia Kataib Hezbollah.

Seven of their alleged plots targeted Britain including the stabbing of two Jewish men in Golders Green, attacks on synagogues in London, the arson on Hatzola ambulances in the capital, strikes on a Jewish charity and media organisation, and a purported attack on the Israeli Embassy in Kensington with drones claimed to have been “loaded with dangerous carcinogenic and radioactive materials”, according to the legal documents.

They state that Mohajeri, 48, is an operative of the IRGC military force, accused of being Iran’s main exporter of terrorism.

Al-Saadi, 32, is alleged to have conspired and urged other people for nearly a decade to commit violent attacks against the US and its citizens “on behalf of terrorist organisations, including multiple global terror proxies for the Iranian regime”.

“In early March 2026, Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood al-Saadi and Mohsen Mohajeri, the defendants, began plotting to carry out terrorist attacks in Europe,” says the indictment.

“To do so, al-Saadi and Mohajeri, who was officially a member of the IRGC from at least in or about 2004, discussed procuring drones and missiles from Mohajeri's IRGC contacts and broader network in Iran.”

It is not clear if they ever managed to obtain these weapons.

But drones featured in one of the alleged propaganda plots, the purported strike on Israel’s embassy in London.

No drones were found but the area around the embassy, including Kensington Gardens, was sealed off as police checked for any deadly weapons.

It was one of several incidents allegedly carried out by a new terrorist group with the pseudonym Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamiya (HAYI), which was allegedly a front for Kata’ib Hizballah, according to the legal papers.

Al-Hassani, 35, an Iraqi citizen who had lived in the UK, is alleged to have used his contacts and criminal associates to carry out terror attacks in Britain.

Together with al-Saadi, who is in jail in America, al-Hassani and Mohajeri are accused of being behind the failed terror strike on RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire.

The DOJ claims al-Saadi was involved in plots from behind bars in Brooklyn jail, including on the RAF base, by allegedly passing on messages through his family, referring to planned attacks as “work”.

He had been arrested in Turkey in mid-May and transferred into the FBI’s custody before being flown to America.

Seven people have been arrested and bailed in the UK over the incident at the West Country airbase, which was used by US bombers for airstrikes on Iran, after three suspicious vans were stopped near the site on September 27.

Police seized a quantity of petrol but found no explosive materials in the vans.

Al-Hassani is accused of paying an unnamed individual to “perform pre-operational surveillance of RAF Fairford’s perimeter”.

He also allegedly “tasked and paid several individuals to help him prepare for the plot, including by procuring vans and barrels of fuel, researching the purchase of chemical accelerants, including large quantities of potassium chloride, and purchasing metallic objects that could be used as explosive shrapnel”.

He instructed those individuals to outfit the vans “to create the appearance that they were used by a fuel delivery business and a swimming pool supply business”, according to the DOJ.

He was allegedly “in frequent communication” with the drivers of the vans the morning of the incident.

Last month two British nationals appeared in court in connection with the plot.

America removed its bombers from the base following the incident, with which Iran has denied any involvement.
