  "summary": "US President Donald Trump has warned that Iran will face severe consequences if it is found to be linked to an attack on a flydubai flight. The incident occurred on a flight to Israel, which made an emergency landing in Saudi Arabia after passengers helped stop the plane from crashing.\n\nAccording to Trump, intelligence suggesting a potential Iranian connection is under active review. When asked about the possibility of retaliation against Iran, Trump stated that Iran \"will be hit very hard\" if found to be involved.\n\nTrump did not provide definitive proof of Iran's involvement, but said that the situation is being scrutinised. The US is working with relevant parties and reviewing the available information.",
