United States President Donald Trump has warned that Iran would face a severe response if investigations establish that Tehran was involved in the attempted attack on a Flydubai flight travelling from Dubai to Tel Aviv.
The incident occurred after the aircraft鈥檚 co-pilot allegedly stabbed the captain and attempted to crash the plane.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has alleged that the suspect underwent Islamist radicalisation, but no verified evidence publicly establishing an Iranian connection has been released.
