US media, citing officials, reported the copilot likely acted alone in the cockpit axe attack on the pilot. The UAE attorney general called it a terrorist act, while Vice President JD Vance said Iran's involvement is being investigated.

The suspect, reportedly from Oman, had previously been banned from flying over radical ideological concerns, according to Israeli and US reports.
