Trump vows to hit Iran hard if linked to flydubai attack
US President Donald Trump has warned that Iran will be "hit very hard" if it is found to be linked to a pilot's attack on a flydubai flight to Israel.
US President Donald Trump has vowed a hard hit on Iran if it's found to be involved in a pilot's attack on a flydubai flight to Israel. The incident occurred when passengers helped the plane make an emergency landing in Saudi Arabia after the mostly Israeli passengers were flown back home to a hero's welcome. Trump's warning came as the UAE began investigating the possibility of terrorism and Netanyahu claimed the suspect had undergone Islamist radical indoctrination.
Trump stated that if Iran was responsible, they would be hit very hard. The US has recently deployed additional Patriot missile batteries to Saudi Arabia and Qatar, as well as sent the USS Theodore Roosevelt aircraft carrier and its strike group to the Middle East. The UAE and Saudi Arabia are piecing together the events, with Saudi Arabia stating the co-pilot attacked the captain, triggering a struggle for control.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed the co-pilot was an Omani national and said Israel would participate in the investigation.
