US President Donald Trump has said he believes Iran was involved in an incident involving a Flydubai aircraft, according to a report by TASS.
Trump also said that Washington knew who was behind a threat that prompted the United States to withdraw all of its B-1 strategic bombers from Royal Air Force Fairford in the United Kingdom, the report said, though the specific nature of the threat and its connection to the Flydubai incident were not detailed in the cited remarks.
RAF Fairford has periodically hosted US Air Force bomber deployments, including B-1B Lancer aircraft, as part of broader US and NATO force posture in Europe. The withdrawal of the bombers would mark a notable, if likely temporary, shift in that posture if confirmed by US or UK defense officials.
Iran has previously denied involvement in incidents attributed to it by US officials in other contexts, though no response from Tehran regarding this specific claim was included in the report.
Further details on the Flydubai incident itself, including when and where it occurred and what prompted the security concern, were not specified in the available report.
