Trump says FlyDubai co-pilot who tried to crash a Tel Aviv flight is likely tied to Iran
Netanyahu says it is too early to tie the co-pilot to Iran.
Trump said the Omani co-pilot is linked to Iran, "based on what I'm hearing." The co-pilot is accused of stabbing his captain on a Dubai–Tel Aviv flight. Trump vowed Iran would be "hit very hard." Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the man was radicalized. He called an Iran link "too early to say."
- The plane made an emergency landing in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia.
- CBS News reports 174 people aboard; PBS NewsHour reports more than 180.
- The co-pilot had flown for FlyDubai for 8 months, per Axios.
