Trump evacuated secretly from Turkey following Iranian threats
U.S. security officials orchestrated a clandestine operation to evacuate Donald Trump from Ankara amid Iranian threats targeting Air Force One.
Security officials conducted a covert operation to evacuate U.S. President Donald Trump from Turkey following a NATO summit in Ankara, responding to credible Iranian threats involving shoulder-fired missiles targeting Air Force One. According to intelligence disclosures reported by international media, the U.S. Secret Service executed a diversion by transferring Trump to an alternate military transport using a catering vehicle, while the official presidential aircraft took off with staff and journalists onboard to serve as a decoy.
The heightened security measures follow escalating tensions between Washington and Tehran. In related remarks, Trump announced intentions to declare the strategic Strait of Hormuz as United States territory once military conflicts with Iran conclude, seeking to secure the critical maritime corridor following months of disruption to global commercial shipping.
