US President Donald Trump said Iran would be hit "very hard" if Tehran is found to be behind an incident involving a Flydubai flight, according to Anadolu Agency.
"They'll be hit very hard, don't worry," Trump told reporters, according to the report, though further details of the incident itself and the basis for any suspected Iranian involvement were not fully outlined in the available excerpt.
Rising Rhetoric
Trump's remarks add to a pattern of pointed warnings from Washington toward Tehran over alleged threats to aviation and regional security, though the report does not specify what evidence, if any, authorities have tied to Iran in connection with the Flydubai incident.
The comments come amid a broader period of heightened tension between the United States and Iran, with aviation security in the region remaining a recurring flashpoint in statements from US officials.
Anadolu Agency's report does not detail what response, if any, Iran has given to Trump's remarks, and further official clarification on the Flydubai incident was not immediately available.
