The White House confirmed early Saturday that a credible Iranian missile threat forced President Donald Trump to switch to a different aircraft during his return from Turkey early this month, according to a report from i24NEWS. Spokesperson Karoline Leavitt stated that the new plane is "completely safe," responding to reports of a credible threat from Iran and its proxies to harm Trump during his departure from Turkey.
As The Zioneer reported earlier today, the New York Times reported that pro-Iranian elements planned to harm President Trump, with the threat discovered while he was attending the NATO summit in Ankara. The i24NEWS report provides additional details, indicating that the threat specifically involved an Iranian missile that led to the last-minute change of aircraft. The report, written by Barak Betsh, cites White House confirmation.
