US President Donald Trump said his administration believes Iran is involved in an incident targeting a plane belonging to FlyDubai, warning Tehran of a "very powerful strike" should this be confirmed.
Trump's remarks came during a conversation with reporters at the White House, where he said: "I would say the answer is yes, based on what I'm hearing, but we're working on this right at this moment," referring to his initial assessment of Iran's responsibility for the incident.
Trump did not provide further details about the nature of the evidence supporting this assessment, affirming that the US investigation into the incident is still ongoing and has not yet been concluded.
