Trump was secretly flown from Turkey to the UK on a smaller plane amid reports of an Iran assassination threat, according to media outlets. The move came as part of a covert operation to ensure his safety, with sources claiming he was hidden in a catering cart during the transfer. This followed a NATO summit in Turkey where tensions with Iran were rising.
The shift in transportation was not disclosed to White House staff or journalists, who believed Trump remained on the original Air Force One. Reports suggest the president was moved to a military plane to avoid potential threats linked to Iran. The operation involved a "decoy" Air Force One to mislead any would-be attackers.
The situation highlights growing concerns over Iran’s influence in the region, with the Islamic Republic reportedly increasing its pressure on the Strait of Hormuz. Meanwhile, Trump’s administration faces mounting challenges in managing the escalating tensions.
The move has sparked discussions about the security measures in place for high-profile political figures, especially in volatile regions. (bbc.co.uk)
