Flydubai FZ1073 saga: Iran theorizes it was an Israeli false-flag operation

# Summary Iran's state media claims that the September 30, 2026 Flydubai Flight FZ1073 incident—in which an Omani co-pilot allegedly attempted to crash a Boeing 737 heading to Tel Aviv—was an Israeli false-flag operation designed to manufacture a pretext for confrontation with Iran. The article argues that the narrative was politically motivated, timed conveniently before Israeli elections, and built on unsubstantiated claims and missing evidence, allegedly coordinated during Netanyahu's visit to Dubai three days prior. Iranian sources contend the operation involved multiple Arab countries in a coordinated effort to fabricate an Iranian connection and justify military action against Tehran.
