Trump threatens Iran with ‘very hard’ response if linked to flydubai attack
JNS ^ | Oct 2, 2026

President Donald Trump warned on Thursday that Iran would face a “very hard” response if investigators determine that Tehran was behind the apparent attempt to crash an Israel-bound flydubai flight.

Asked by a reporter at the White House whether he had been briefed on possible Iranian links to the Omani co-pilot who stabbed the captain of Flight FZ1073, Trump said, “I would say the answer, based on what I’m hearing, is yes, but we’re working on it right now.”

False flag. Just like RAF. Desperately seeking an excuse to start WW III.

He can’t stop blurting out whatever comes to his mind. We’re stuck with him for the next two plus years.

Is this guy really just the same globalist sh!t we saw from George W. Bush?

WGAF about an incident involving a Middle Eastern airline that most Americans didn't even know existed, flying between two Middle Eastern countries that most Americans can't even find on a map?

Trump is going to Trump, no matter what. Too late to ever expect him to change. You just have to accept the bad with the good.

Of course Iran is involved. This is between Israel, Iran and maybe Oman and the UAE. Let Israel deal with them.

Islam seems to have been involved, and Iran’s rulers are nothing but Islam.

Folks, it’s all positioning.

Give it a rest.

There is no WW III threat.

He will just use this against Iran in negotiations to squeeze more out of them.

It’s positioning.

I apologize for the knee-jerk reaction. That was rude of me. I should halve asked you to clarify who you believe is behind the false flag and who is desperately seeking an excuse to start WW III.

Neither story makes any sense, and my motto is you can never go wrong assuming the gaslight press “narrative” is a lie.

All the Trump haters on here make me want to vomit. He’s the best we’ve had in my lifetime, maybe ever, and the seven seas filled with sh+t to drain. You all think you can do a better job, have at it.

Not to mention they desperately want a great reset because COVID-1984 was a bust.
