Trump Used “Decoy Plane” Amid Iran Assassination Fear, Pezeshkian Vows “Won't Yield", IRGC Slams US

Iran’s threat to assassinate President Donald Trump during the 2024 campaign led his team to take extreme precautions, which included riding on a decoy plane to throw off would-be pursuers.

After law enforcement told Trump that Iran had snuck operatives into the country who had access to surface-to-air missiles, the president’s team worried that his easily recognizable private jet, “Trump Force One,” might make him an easy target during takeoff or landing. Concerns only grew after a failed attempt on Trump’s life at his golf course in West Palm Beach, Fla., on Sept. 15.
