Credible Iranian Threat Prompted Trump’s Air Force One Swap

U.S. officials determined that Iranian proxy forces posed a credible threat to President Donald Trump and Air Force One as he left the NATO summit in Turkey, prompting the Secret Service to move him onto an older aircraft. The information did not indicate that the proxies specifically targeted the new Qatari-donated jet. Earlier reporting linked the warning to Israeli intelligence, and the U.S. ambassador to Israel confirmed that Jerusalem had shared intelligence about an Iranian assassination plot. Earlier accounts said the switch was precautionary rather than based on a specific credible threat, creating a factual conflict among the reports.
