Iran reportedly planned to shoot down Trump's plane
A report by The Wall Street Journal revealed that the threat prompting the United States to take extraordinary security measures to protect President Donald Trump as he departed Ankara involved the possibility of his aircraft being targeted by shoulder-fired missiles from Iran. Based on intelligence information, Israel informed the Trump administration of an Iranian plot to launch anti-aircraft missiles during the President's flight following the NATO summit on July 8, 2023. Consequently, the United States executed a covert security operation that involved secretly relocating Trump to another military plane and keeping the true location of his aircraft undisclosed, in order to safeguard the President from any potential attack, although his aircraft was not hit by any missile. These measures indicate the high level of tension in US-Iran relations and the gravity of the threats faced by Trump during his transit through Turkey.
