Iranian threat prompts Trump to alter plane
The New York Times revealed that U.S. President Donald Trump was forced to change his presidential aircraft when leaving Turkey earlier this month, after American security agencies received a threat and an imminent attack by Iran-backed militias targeting him and his companions. The Secret Service advised returning to the use of the old Air Force One, as it is equipped with advanced protective and defensive systems, including missile interception systems. In contrast, the new aircraft obtained by Qatar lacks these systems. According to information, the threat in Turkey was separate from recent Iranian threats against American officials, and the decision was based on an independent security assessment, which highlighted that the level of threat had reached its highest point in decades. Trump commented on this, saying he felt personally threatened and that his name was listed on assassination target lists.
