Turkey's Anadolu Agency reported an allegation, sourced to Iran's Press TV, that Israel had planned a "false flag" aircraft hijacking intended to draw the United States into a new war with Iran.
According to the report, Press TV cited an unnamed regional source who linked the alleged plan to an incident involving a flydubai flight that was diverted to Saudi Arabia.
The claim has not been independently verified, and Anadolu Agency's report did not include a response from Israeli officials.
Press TV is Iran's state-funded English-language broadcaster, and its reporting on matters involving Israel and the United States often reflects the Iranian government's position.
No further details on the alleged flydubai incident, including its date or the flight's origin and destination, were included in the available reporting.
