Shafaq News..Trump Threatens Iran over Possible Flydubai Attack Link

Trump said Iran would be hit very hard if investigators confirm Tehran tied to the attempt to crash an Israel-bound Flydubai jet carrying 182 people.

  • On Thursday, President Donald Trump threatened that the United States would strike Iran "very hard" if investigators establish a link to the copilot who attempted to crash an Israel-bound Flydubai flight.
  • During the flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv on Wednesday, the copilot attacked the captain, forcing an emergency landing in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia, according to preliminary findings from authorities.
  • Passengers aboard the Boeing 737 Max 8 intervened after the aircraft descended sharply, stabilizing the plane before it landed safely with 182 people on board, all of whom survived.
  • Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated it is too early to determine Iranian involvement, though he claimed the copilot was radicalized; Israeli security officials found no Iranian connection so far.
  • Meanwhile, the American military has dispatched roughly 9,000 troops to the Middle East, as Trump maintains a firm stance rejecting recent Iranian proposals to end the seven-month war.
