Date: October 2, 2026 The True Post (Web News) —US President Donald Trump has warned that Iran will face extremely severe consequences if an Iranian connection to the Flydubai incident earlier this week is established.
Trump made the statement amid questions about the possible background of a co-pilot involved in an incident during a Flydubai flight in which the captain was reportedly attacked with a knife, as well as speculation about potential foreign links.
Questions Surrounding the Co-Pilot
The US president sought to link the co-pilot accused of attacking the captain aboard a flight operated by the Emirati airline Flydubai to Iran.
Trump said he had been briefed on the incident and had been told that the co-pilot involved might have had links to Iran.
Claim of an Iranian Connection
Trump was asked whether Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps had allegedly sent the co-pilot to carry out the attack or whether the individual had independently become radicalised.
In response, Trump said either possibility could be true. He warned that Iran would face severe consequences if an investigation established a connection between Tehran and the incident.
Threatening strong military action against Iran, Trump said the country would face a major attack if it were found to be linked to the incident.
Netanyahu Takes a Cautious Position
Earlier, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had adopted a more cautious position on the matter.
Netanyahu said it would be premature at this stage to conclude that the Flydubai co-pilot had any connection to Iran.
His statement indicated that no definitive conclusion had been reached regarding a possible Iranian link to the co-pilot.
Investigation Underway
Information emerging about the incident has raised questions about the co-pilot’s background and possible connections. However, further investigation is needed before any definitive confirmation can be made regarding a link to Iran.
Trump has nevertheless highlighted the possibility of Iranian involvement in his remarks and warned of a severe response against Tehran if such a connection is established.
Discussion of Oil Prices
Alongside the situation involving Iran, the US president also discussed global oil prices.
Trump said oil prices would begin to decline once the issue involving Iran was resolved. According to him, the situation was approaching its conclusion.
He also made a claim concerning the Strait of Hormuz, saying the United States was extracting more oil from the area than it had before the war.
Hardline Position on Iran
Trump further hardened his position towards Iran, saying Tehran had two options.
According to the US president, Iran would either sign what he described as an extremely fair agreement or cease to exist.
Rising Tensions
Trump’s latest remarks come amid continuing tensions between the United States and Iran.
A possible Iranian connection to the Flydubai incident has not been definitively established in the information provided. Nevertheless, the US president has linked the possibility of Iranian involvement to the threat of severe action against Tehran.
Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s statement that it is too early to draw a definitive conclusion about the co-pilot’s alleged connection to Iran highlights the uncertainty surrounding the case.
Trump has threatened severe military action if an Iranian connection is established, while also expressing expectations that the broader dispute with Iran could soon end and that global oil prices would subsequently decline.
