Trump Says Iran Behind Flydubai Attack Despite No Evidence

saharareporters.com —

President Donald Trump said he personally believes Iran was behind the alleged terrorist attack on a Flydubai flight bound for Israel, despite an ongoing investigation that has not established a link to Tehran. Trump made the statement Monday in response to a Fox News reporter’s question, offering no public evidence. The September 30 incident involved an Omani co-pilot who allegedly attacked the captain and tried to seize control of the aircraft before being overpowered by passengers and off-duty pilots, forcing an emergency landing in Saudi Arabia. The UAE is leading the probe, with Israeli and Saudi involvement, but no proof of Iranian involvement has emerged. Israeli investigators suspect a lone-wolf attack, and Vice President JD Vance has said there is no conclusive evidence linking Iran, contrasting with Trump’s assessment.
