This is pretty wild: From a jail in New York, a commander of an Iranian terrorist proxy group helped direct a failed plot to attack RAF Fairford — a key UK air force base used by the US to execute the war with Iran, federal prosecutors allege in a new indictment. The man, Mohammad Dawood Al-Saadi, a duel Iranian and Iraqi citizen, is accused of using coded messages in calls to his family to give instructions to two other people who attempted to help carry out the attack on the base, where US B-1 bombers were stationed. cnn.com/2026/11/10/politics/…

The US evacuated American military aircraft from a military base in England on Monday following a threat from Iran that was deemed credible, according to a person familiar with the intelligence that prompted the evacuation. The source declined to detail the nature of the threat, but said that the US intelligence community has in recent weeks picked up a wide range of "varied, extensive, and specific" plots being discussed by the Iranians against US targets. It is unclear whether the Iranians actually have the capabilities needed to act on the threats, however, which range from drone attacks on US bases to assassination plots. Several threats were also made against targets inside the United States, the source said. cnn.com/2026/11/10/world/us-…
