US President Donald Trump reportedly made a secret plane switch after leaving a NATO summit in Turkey last month amid a potential Iranian threat. According to US media reports, Trump boarded the old Air Force One in front of cameras before secretly being moved to a smaller C-32A military aircraft using a catering truck. Journalists and some White House staff reportedly remained unaware of the switch. Officials told CBS News that US intelligence had detected a credible Iranian threat against the aircraft, though the White House has not confirmed the report. Trump had earlier described himself as Iran’s “number one” target. (PC: BBC)
