British authorities have charged Rahman Salehi, 34, and Salam Ahmadyan, 36, with preparing to commit an act of terrorism in Manchester, allegedly targeting the Jewish community. The UK Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) stated on Friday that the plot was planned for "on or before" Yom Kippur, which began on September 20. Police indicated the two men were in contact with an overseas third-party, potentially in Iran, and allegedly attempted to acquire components for an improvised explosive device while conducting reconnaissance on potential targets. Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood noted the men arrived in the UK via small boat several years ago, with one granted asylum and the other having a live asylum claim. She highlighted ongoing threats from the Iranian regime against UK Jewish communities. The charges are unrelated to a suspected plot involving the RAF Fairford air base, for which a dual UK-Iranian national was arrested earlier this week.
