Trump Warns Iran of Severe Response if Linked to Flydubai Flight Attack
US President Donald Trump warned that Iran would be hit "very hard" if found linked to the attempted hijacking of a Flydubai flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv, where the co-pilot stabbed the captain before passengers subdued him and the plane landed safely in Saudi Arabia. Investigations by UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Israeli officials are ongoing, with no confirmed motive or Iranian involvement yet. Trump also indicated possible military action against Iran after US midterm elections amid stalled diplomatic efforts to end the seven-month conflict.
