Trump secretly evacuated from Turkey following Iranian missile threat
U.S. security services carried out a covert diversion to evacuate Donald Trump from Turkey amid Iranian threats, while Trump outlined plans regarding the Strait of Hormuz.
U.S. security officials orchestrated a covert diversion to evacuate President Donald Trump from Turkey following a NATO summit in Ankara, responding to an Iranian threat involving shoulder-fired missiles targeting Air Force One. According to intelligence disclosures reported by international media, the U.S. Secret Service transferred Trump to an alternate military transport via a catering vehicle, allowing the official presidential plane to depart with staff and press as a decoy.
The security operation reflects heightened tensions between Washington and Tehran. In related statements, Trump declared plans to designate the Strait of Hormuz as United States territory following the conclusion of hostilities with Iran, aiming to assert control over the vital global shipping corridor.
