  "account": "Donald Trump has warned Iran it would face \"very hard\" consequences if investigators determine Tehran was involved in a failed attack on a flydubai flight to Israel. At a White House briefing, the US President said he believes Iran may be responsible for the incident, in which the co-pilot allegedly stabbed the captain and attempted to crash the plane. Trump stated that the US would \"hit very hard\" if Iran is found guilty. The flydubai flight was diverted to Saudi Arabia after the attempted hijacking. Israeli officials have described the incident as a potential terrorist attack, with the co-pilot reportedly exposed to radical Islamist indoctrination. Trump's remarks on Iran come as he considers resuming military operations against the country after the US midterm elections in November.",
