US President Donald Trump has warned Iran that it will be "hit very hard" if it is found to be linked to a pilot's attack on a flydubai flight to Israel. The incident occurred on a flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv, which made an emergency landing in Saudi Arabia after passengers helped stop the plane from crashing.

The United Arab Emirates has opened an investigation into possible terrorist activity. According to RTE News, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the suspect had undergone "Islamist radical indoctrination".

Trump's warning coincided with a US military buildup in the region, including the deployment of additional Patriot missile batteries to Saudi Arabia and Qatar, and the USS Theodore Roosevelt aircraft carrier heading to the Middle East. Trump stated that the US was still investigating the alleged connection between Iran and the attack.
