British police announced on Friday that two Iranian men have been formally charged with plotting to carry out a terrorist act targeting members of the Jewish community in the city of Manchester, north-west England, according to Sky News Arabia.
The report did not make clear the full details of the alleged plot, nor the stage it had reached before British authorities were able to uncover it and bring charges against the two suspects.
Background to the charges
The charges come as British security services increasingly monitor potential risks linked to Iran-related activity on British soil, amid ongoing tensions between London and Tehran over a number of regional and international issues.
As of this report, Iranian authorities had issued no official comment on the charges against their citizens.
The case will now go through the usual British judicial process, with the two defendants expected to appear in court at a later stage to respond to the charges against them.
