Biloxi Gulfport, MS, November 10, 2026 — U.S. authorities have unsealed charges against three men, identified as operatives allegedly supported by Iran, for their involvement in plotting numerous terror attacks. The indictment, unsealed in Manhattan federal court, outlines allegations of nearly 20 planned attacks.
The alleged plots primarily targeted Jewish communities, with intentions to carry out attacks in both Europe and the United States. In addition to the community-based threats, the indictment details a specific plan for an assault on a British airbase known to be used by the U.S. Air Force.
The charges are a significant development in U.S. counterterrorism efforts, highlighting concerns over foreign interference and directed attacks. One of the three defendants has been taken into U.S. custody. Information regarding the status and whereabouts of the other two defendants was not immediately available upon the unsealing of the indictment.
The specific nature of the alleged Iranian support and the timeline of the plots were not detailed in the unsealed indictment. Further information is expected as the legal proceedings commence. The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York is handling the case.
