Trump: From what I'm hearing, Flydubai hijacker linked to Iran
<p>Asked if the co-pilot who attempted to hijack and crash a Flydubai flight full of Israelis was linked to Iran, President Donald Trump said: "I would say the answer based on what I'm hearing is yes, but we're working on it now."</p>
On Thursday, US President Donald Trump suggested a possible link between the pilot of an Omani flydubai plane and Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) following a plane crash. He stated that "it's possible" there is a connection, though the investigation is still ongoing. When asked if he had been briefed on a potential link, Trump replied, "it's possible, yes."
However, an Israeli official told The Jerusalem Post that the working assumption remains that the co-pilot acted alone, not on behalf of any other party. Despite Trump's comments, the Israeli official emphasized that the investigation is still ongoing. Trump also remarked that when Iran goes, its proxies, including Hezbollah, will also disappear.
He further mentioned that he had to make a decision regarding a potential deal or the future of Iran's existence.
