U.S. prosecutors charged three men over an alleged campaign of attacks on Jewish and American sites in Europe, including a plot against RAF Fairford, a British base used by U.S. forces. Separately, Iran’s top national security official warned of strikes on U.S. bases outside the Gulf if the United States resumes air strikes on Iran, according to PBS NewsHour.

Why it matters
The alleged plot involved a base used by U.S. forces, and the reported warning raises a potential security concern for U.S. personnel and facilities abroad. The charges are allegations that have not been proven in court.
What happens next
The criminal case will proceed in U.S. court; the articles do not give a court date. Whether the conditional threat leads to any U.S. security or military response is not stated.
