US President Donald Trump has warned that the United States would strike Iran "very hard" if Tehran is found to have been involved in an incident affecting a Flydubai flight, according to a report by Euronews en Español.
The warning follows an episode in which a Flydubai aircraft reportedly lost roughly 17,000 feet of altitude within about a minute. Citing flight-tracking service Flightradar24, passengers described running toward the cockpit and struggling for control of the aircraft during the incident.
Trump's comments link the episode to broader US scrutiny of Iran, though the report does not specify what evidence, if any, ties Tehran to the incident.
Further details on the cause of the aircraft's sudden descent, the flight's origin and destination, and the condition of those on board were not included in the available reporting.
