Summary

Two Iranian nationals charged with terrorism offenses in Britain appeared in court. A prosecutor said the men conducted surveillance of a synagogue, the site of a deadly attack a year earlier, as part of an alleged plot to bomb it this year. The men had entered the UK on small boats; the allegations come amid heightened tensions between Britain and Iran over a separate security incident.
