US President Donald Trump, asked on Monday (October 05) if he thinks Iran was responsible for the flydubai plane incident, said he personally does.

Earlier on Monday, US Vice President JD Vance said he has not seen anything conclusive yet on an Iranian role in the incident.

The flydubai co-pilot who stabbed his captain in a suspected attempt to crash the plane has told UAE interrogators he planned the attack before he was hired by the Dubai state-owned airline, according to two Israeli officials with knowledge of the probe.
