U.S. President Donald Trump stated he believes Iran is responsible for an attempted attack on a Flydubai flight, during which an Omani pilot-pilot attempted to crash the plane en route to Israel. This assertion contradicts the position of Vice President J.D. Vance, who previously stated there were no definitive findings linking Iran to the incident and that the investigation is ongoing.
Concurrently, Trump revealed the reason for the swift evacuation of all U.S. supersonic B-1 bombers from the United Kingdom back to America. The rapid redeployment occurred within hours due to concerns about a direct Iranian operation. "There were some threats, and instead of tempting the enemy with the opportunity, we will catch the enemy and defeat them. Why would we leave them there? We moved them a bit, but not too far," the President explained.
According to U.S. reports, the White House feared an attack similar to Ukraine's "Spider" operation, where dozens of aircraft were smuggled into Russia and launched against bases, destroying parts of the Russian bomber fleet. American officials were concerned that similar aircraft had already been infiltrated into the UK, potentially enabling an attack with no prior warning, prompting the hasty withdrawal of the bombers.
