President Donald Trump said at the White House that, based on what he was hearing, the Flydubai co-pilot accused of attacking the captain and attempting to crash an Israel-bound aircraft was linked to Iran. He provided no evidence and said U.S. officials were still investigating.
Why it matters
Trump's comment could increase pressure for a U.S. response if investigators establish a state or IRGC connection to the aircraft attack.
