🔶 Trump Threatened Iran Over FlyDubai Flight Incident

Donald Trump, the president of the United States, warned that if Iran’s role in the FlyDubai flight incident is confirmed, Tehran will face heavy consequences.

In response to the question of whether he has information about Iran’s role in this incident, he said: “Based on the things I’m hearing, I’m going to say yes; but we are looking into it.”

Regarding the potential retaliatory action by the United States, Trump said: “They will be hit very hard—don’t worry.”

The FlyDubai flight on Wednesday, 8 Mehr (30 September), traveling from Dubai to Tel Aviv suddenly lost about five thousand meters of altitude and ultimately made an emergency landing in Saudi Arabia. Most of the 174 passengers were Israelis.

According to Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel’s prime minister, the co-pilot attacked the pilot with a knife and intended to bring the aircraft down, but some passengers entered the cockpit and restrained him. Netanyahu also claimed that the co-pilot had been under “extremist Islamic indoctrination.”

According to a report, the United States and Israel are examining the possibility of a connection between the Islamic Republic and this incident. So far, no publicly available and independent evidence about Iran’s role in this incident has been provided.
