Iran-linked network targets Israeli election
From the UK to Israel, the signs of Iran's malicious influence across the West are growing. Will the attempted hijack of an Israel-bound flight from Dubai be added to that list?
On today's episode of Iran: the Latest, Venetia Rainey speaks with Jerusalem correspondent Henry Bodkin and Israel-based OSINT specialist Tal Hagin about how the flydubai pilot and passengers fought back to prevent a catastrophic attack that could have sparked a fresh war. As Donald Trump calls the alleged attacker a "terrorist or a whackjob", they discuss three scenarios for who was behind it, debunked conspiracy theories - and the implications for the Middle East.
After OSINT company Golden Owl exposed an Iran-linked influence operation targeting Israeli voters ahead of the election, they break down how the race between Benjamin Netanyahu and rival Gadi Eisenkot is going.
Plus, British Prime Minister Andy Burnham says Tehran was likely behind a plot foiled outside the UK's RAF Fairford airbase, and the US kicks out Iranian negotiators as peace talks stall.
