President Donald Trump has not denied reports that he is altering his travel arrangements due to Iranian assassination threats, according to an exchange with a reporter on Wednesday evening. The comments follow an earlier statement by Trump in which he said he may be assassinated and called himself Iran's 'number one wanted' target, as The Zioneer reported at 19:31 Jerusalem. The new details indicate heightened security concerns surrounding the president's movements, including a potential flight from Ankara to Washington on a plane other than Air Force One. Trump again asserted that he is the primary target of Iranian assassination plots, a claim he has repeated amid ongoing US-Iran tensions over nuclear negotiations and military posture.
