US Vice President JD Vance answered the question: Is there a link between Iran and the "FlyDubai" plane incident?

Vance said on Monday, in remarks to reporters before departing on a flight to Alaska, that he has not yet seen any definitive evidence of Iranian involvement in the FlyDubai plane incident.

Vance added, "Regarding involvement with Iran, I leave that to John Ratcliffe (Director of the Central Intelligence Agency) and some intelligence officials."

He continued, "I don't want to preempt any announcements on this matter. It is certainly something we are studying, but I cannot say that I have seen anything decisive so far."

A FlyDubai aircraft was subjected to an attempted sabotage during its flight to Tel Aviv, where the co-pilot stabbed the pilot and tried to take control of the plane before passengers were able to regain control of the situation.
