A man who was arrested at London's Heathrow Airport after he arrived on a flight from Turkey will appear in court on Monday on charges of preparation of terrorist acts, British police said.

Mamun Rashid, 26, was arrested on Thursday on suspicion of offences related to the conflict in Syria.

Counter-terrorism police detained him hours after Turkey said it deported a British man linked to ISIS terrorist organization.

Turkish authorities have begun to send ISIS detainees back to their home countries.

Iran's judiciary said Israeli strikes on Monday hit Tehran's Evin prison, leaving sections of the facility damaged.

"In the latest attack by the Zionist regime on Tehran, projectiles unfortunately struck Evin prison, causing damage to parts of the facility," said the judiciary's Mizan Online website.

It added that all resources had been deployed to manage the complex and the situation remained "under control".

Israel's defense minister said the army was targeting Tehran's notorious Evin prison Monday as it carried out fresh strikes on the Iranian capital, AFP reported.

The military "is carrying out strikes of unprecedented force against regime targets and agencies of government repression in the heart of Tehran. Among the targets... (is) Evin Prison (which holds political prisoners and dissidents)... and additional regime-related targets," Israel Katz said in a post on X.
