How Trump was secretly moved off Air Force One after Iran threat
President Trump was secretly transferred off Air Force One and flown out of Turkey aboard a smaller military aircraft last month after intelligence flagged a credible Iranian assassination threat, according to P.M. News, citing CBS News and the Washington Post.
During the July 8 operation in Ankara, Trump was moved via a catering truck to a C-32A jet while Air Force One served as a decoy, with journalists unaware he was no longer aboard. Trump later acknowledged constant threats against his life, calling himself Iran’s “number one” target, though the White House hasn’t confirmed full operational details.
