An Iraqi national has been arrested and charged in the United States with providing material support to Iranian-backed terrorist organizations. Federal authorities allege the individual directed and urged attacks targeting U.S. citizens and interests.
The suspect is accused of coordinating nearly 20 terror attacks in Europe and has alleged links to Iran’s Quds Force. The FBI brought the individual to New York to face trial.
This arrest comes amid growing fears that Iran may be utilizing proxy groups to conduct operations beyond the Middle East. This is a developing story and will be updated as details emerge.
