Trump Warns Iran of Strong Response if Linked to Flydubai Flight Attack
US President Donald Trump warned that Iran would be hit "very hard" if found responsible for an attack on a Flydubai flight from Dubai to Israel, where the co-pilot stabbed the captain before passengers subdued him. Investigations by multiple countries are ongoing to determine motives and any Iranian links. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu cited "Islamist radical indoctrination" of the co-pilot. Trump also suggested possible military action against Iran after upcoming US elections amid stalled diplomatic efforts.
