Trump threatens response against Iran after alleged attack on RAF Fairford base and FlyDubai plane crash

The United States is planning a response against Iran for its role in the alleged plot to attack the Fairford RAF base. "We're working on it right now. We're looking into it. We're analyzing it thoroughly," said Donald Trump in the Oval Office, insisting: "Maybe I'll blow them up. I've got to make this decision, we're running out of time." Iranian authorities said they had received the formal response from the United States to their proposal to end the war, specifying that the US had presented a new one. "It's an incredible story, perhaps the pilot was a terrorist or a madman" said the American president who spoke with Netanyahu about the alleged attempted hijacking of the Dubai-Tel Aviv flight. " The co-pilot of the FlyDubai airline is suspected of having stabbed the captain and of trying to crash the plane. Israel follows the trail of a terrorist attack.

US President Donald Trump said he spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after the pilot of a flight to Israel was allegedly assaulted by his co-pilot, adding that the motive for the incident remains unknown. “I talked to Bibi Netanyahu at length about this event, and it appears that the co-pilot was maybe a terrorist or maybe a deranged person, and that he stabbed the pilot,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office.

"A detonation was heard in eastern Ghouta, near Damascus." This was reported by the official Sana press agency, highlighting that the explosion affected a gas pipeline, causing a large fire and putting 3 power plants out of service. The episode, which occurred on September 30, occurred two days after an explosion caused by an act of sabotage on a gas pipeline in the eastern part of the country. According to a government source, AFP reports, it was "an explosion in a gas pipeline near the Tishrin power plant" which triggered a "large fire". Tishrin is a thermoelectric power plant located about 36 kilometers south-east of the Syrian capital. The explosion knocked out three power plants, the Syrian Electricity Company said in a statement. "The closure of these plants - he added - will lead to a decrease in the quantity of electricity produced and a temporary increase in rationing hours".
