Three men have been charged with plotting terror attacks on Jewish communities in Europe and the US, as well as an attack on the British military base RAF Fairford.
US officials have said they helped orchestrate a "campaign of terror" on behalf of organisations linked to Iran.
This new indictment comes after US planes were evacuated from another RAF base in the UK.
Three men have been charged by US authorities with plotting a "campaign of terror" of nearly 20 attacks targeting Jewish communities in Europe and the US and the British military base at RAF Fairford.
Charges against Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood al-Saadi, a dual Iranian-Iraqi national; Mohsen Mohajeri, an Iranian national; and Mohammad Ali al-Hassani, an Iraqi national, were outlined in a superseding indictment unsealed in Manhattan federal court.
US attorney Jamie McDonald in New York said al-Saadi, who was arrested in the spring, continued to coordinate with his co-defendants in the days leading up to the attempted September terrorist plot at a British Royal Air Force Base in Fairford, where US bombers and troops had been stationed.
"These defendants helped orchestrate a campaign of terror on behalf of terrorist organisations affiliated with Iran that targeted Jewish communities in Europe and the United States, and the British military base, RAF Fairford, housing American service members," Mr McDonald said.
