It hasn't taken long at all for Israeli and US officials to strongly suggest a link between Wednesday's scary FlyDubai security incident and Iran.
President Trump raised Thursday that Iran may be linked to the copilot who tried to crash an Israel-bound plane, which forced it to make a dangerous rapid descent and an emergency landing, after passengers and crew rushed the cockpit.
But while investigators have yet to disclose a motive in what Israel called a full-fledged terror attack, which also left the flight's captain with a stab wound, Trump laid out the following on Thursday:
Fox's Peter Doocy: "Has anybody briefed you about whether or not the guy, the pilot of the flight in FlyDubai plane is linked to Iran?"
President Trump: "We're working on it right now. They're being very open with us. I would say the answer based on what I'm hearing is yes, but we're working on it right now.”
Doocy: "So this guy might have been either put in there by the IRGC or ratified some other way, and then he tried to take down the plane."
Trump: "It could have been, yeah."
