Story summary

On September 20, 2023, British police arrested two Iranian nationals, Rahman Salehi (35) and Salam Ahmadyan (36), in Manchester's Northern Quarter. They were charged with preparing to commit a terrorist act against the Jewish community on the eve of Yom Kippur, the holiest day for Jews. Counter-terrorism detectives alleged that the suspects had been in contact with an overseas third party potentially based in Iran. The arrests came amidst heightened security concerns following the previous year's deadly terror attack at Heaton Park synagogue and a rise in antisemitic incidents across the UK. Authorities have assured the public there is no ongoing threat, but the charges are described as "extremely serious." Salehi and Ahmadyan will appear before Westminster Magistrates' Court on Saturday.
