Reports reveal how security officials covertly evacuated Donald Trump from Turkey amid Iranian threats, while Trump proposed claiming the Strait of Hormuz.

Fresh details have surfaced regarding the covert evacuation of Donald Trump following the NATO summit in Ankara, triggered by an Iranian assassination threat involving shoulder-fired missiles targeting Air Force One. Security officials engineered a last-minute diversion, reportedly concealing the U.S. leader inside a catering vehicle to transfer him to an alternative military aircraft. Meanwhile, the official presidential plane departed with journalists and staff on board to serve as a decoy and maintain routine appearances.

Tensions between Washington and Tehran continue to escalate alongside the security revelations. Trump recently declared his intention to designate the strategic Strait of Hormuz as United States territory once hostilities with Iran conclude, addressing a vital shipping corridor that has faced prolonged maritime disruption due to military conflict.
