Two Iranian Men Charged Over Alleged Terror Plot Targeting Manchester Jewish Community
Two Iranian nationals, Salam Ahmadyan and Rahman Salehi, were charged by UK police with preparing a terrorist attack targeting the Jewish community in Manchester on the eve of Yom Kippur. The men were arrested on September 20 and are alleged to have been in contact with an overseas third party possibly in Iran. Authorities emphasized the plot's disruption and noted no ongoing public threat. Officials highlighted broader security concerns involving threats from Iran, while denying connections to a separate incident at RAF Fairford.
