  "account": "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.
