According to London, now, there are "strong indications" the United Kingdom and the United States were targeted in a terrorist plot on British soil by entities in league with and likely directed by elements within the Islamic Republic of Iran. We shouldn’t have to dwell much on what that means or the consequences that, by rights, Iran’s actions should beget. nationalreview.com/corner/lo…

"I say blessed." That was Captain Smit Machchhar's one word when asked to describe being a pilot, in an interview last October. Today he saved 174 people. Praying for his full recovery.
HERO PILOT, Captain Smit Machchar, stabbed mid-flight on flydubai FZ1073, reportedly FOUGHT OFF the co-pilot and helped save 174 people. One year ago he talked about how people often don't treat the cabin crew properly. "When things are going wrong, you need them." WATCH:

🚨 Brave testimonies from the sky: "The terrorist is neutralized." This morning, a flydubai flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv turned into a fight for survival. According to reports, a pilot pulled a knife and stabbed his fellow pilot in the cockpit, in what Israeli officials believe was an attempt to crash the plane with 174 passengers on board. Israeli passengers forced their way in and dragged him out. The plane made an emergency landing in Saudi Arabia. Every passenger on this plane is alive - truly a Sukkot miracle, thanks to the reported bravery of Israeli passengers on board.

Is the Ayatollah’s chief national security official already taking responsibility for today’s attempted terror attack involving FlyDubai flight?! 🧐
كما أن استضافة القواعد العسكرية الأمريكية لم تجلب لكم الأمن، فإن استضافة «جزّار غزة» أيضًا لن تكون لها عواقب حميدة. تعلّموا من الحرب الأخيرة، وكفّوا عن إشعال الحروب، وتوقّفوا عن إطلاق الادعاءات الواهية بشأن الجزر الإيرانية!

Multiple senior Iranian officials have made several threats over the past 12 days, warning that if Iranian planes can’t fly, then no one in the region will fly! Then, an Emirati 🇦🇪 plane flying over Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 with dozens of Israeli 🇮🇱 passengers on board was almost hijacked and crashed by a rogue pilot. This is NOT a coincidence!

"what happened in the skies above Saudi Arabia on Wednesday morning stands as a metaphor for three years of war. The Israelis saw an existential threat, took matters into their own hands, and decided their own course." thefp.com/p/douglas-murray-i…

This is just one reason it doesn’t make sense to hold a provincial election at the same time as municipal elections.

Our Embassy in Riyadh and Consulate in Jeddah have been following the health condition of Mr Smit Machchhar, the brave Indian pilot of Flydubai flight that was diverted to Tabuk today. He is admitted in a hospital in Tabuk city in northwest Saudi Arabia and receiving necessary medical attention. A full update on his health is awaited but he is reported to be in stable condition. We hope that he recovers from his injuries at the earliest. We are in touch with his family and assure them that we will continue to follow up on his health with Saudi authorities and extend all possible assistance for his wellbeing. @MEAIndia

People read my Free Press essay about this masterpiece on the horrors of communism and saw that it’s out of print. Used versions go for upwards of $100 on amazon. I got my copy 3 years ago for $40. Now working on trying to get it re-issued. Wish me luck. thefp.com/p/how-communism-ki…

This historic act of heroism and bravery by everyday extraordinary Israelis thwarted this potentially horrific terrorist attack saving all the passengers on board. 21st century terrorist threats are very real. And the U.S. must work extensively with our allies and partners to save humanity from the evil ideology of terror and death. Must read👇
EXCLUSIVE: Yaniv Hayoun was on a flight from Dubai to Israel with his family when one of the co-pilots stabbed the other and sent the plane into a nosedive. He told us how he and a group of other passengers saved the lives of all 180 people on board while flying at 17,000 feet. Read @NeriaKraus's interview here: bit.ly/4zcVtyl

And since the Omani “pilot” is now in Saudi hands (the same hands that had no problem chopping up Kahshogi), I’m sure we will learn more soon.
