🔺Fox News: The Dubai flight incident and the Firford base are likely part of the Islamic Republic’s hidden war

▪Counter-terrorism experts say that the two recent incidents—an attack in the cockpit of a FlyDubai flight and a possible sabotage plot near the British Firford base—have raised questions about a shift in the Islamic Republic’s war strategy, but both should not be considered equally indicative of the government’s involvement.

▪The director of the War Program, “Threats, Unconventional Threats, and Terrorism” at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, said that the Firford case is more consistent with the recent pattern of the Islamic Republic in using hired agents and intermediaries.

▪A former counter-terrorism official at the U.S. Treasury Department and the Federal Police said the Islamic Republic has increasingly tried to create distance between itself and the executors of foreign operations.
