US-Israel-Iran War Latest Live News: A near-disaster aboard a FlyDubai flight carrying Israeli passengers has now become part of a wider dispute over whether Iran played a role. US President Donald Trump says he personally believes Tehran was behind the incident, even as investigators continue to examine whether the Omani co-pilot acted alone.
The September 30 incident involved FlyDubai flight FZ1073, which was travelling from Dubai to Tel Aviv when the co-pilot allegedly attacked the Indian captain inside the cockpit. The aircraft entered a steep descent before the captain managed to regain access to the controls. Passengers and off-duty pilots then helped subdue the attacker, and the plane made an emergency landing in Saudi Arabia.

Trump’s assessment comes as Vice President JD Vance has taken a more cautious position.
Vance said he had not seen anything conclusive connecting Iran to the attack. He added that questions about possible Iranian involvement should be directed toward CIA Director John Ratcliffe and US intelligence officials.
The difference between Trump’s assessment and Vance’s comments highlights the uncertainty surrounding the investigation. While Trump has publicly expressed his belief that Iran was responsible, US officials have not announced evidence establishing Tehran’s involvement.
