Iran Threat Prompted Trump to Switch Aircraft Mid-Trip at NATO Summit

A threat from Iranian proxy forces emerged while US President Donald Trump was attending the NATO summit in Ankara, Turkey. Trump had originally arrived at the summit aboard a newly donated Qatari Boeing 747-8 aircraft. The US Secret Service advised him to depart on the older, more familiar Air Force One instead of the new plane. The security-driven aircraft switch was reported amid broader concerns about Iranian threats targeting the US president.
