Israel reportedly provided intelligence to the US regarding an Iranian threat against then-President Donald Trump, including the potential use of shoulder-fired missiles against Air Force One, according to The Wall Street Journal. Following this warning, a deception operation was initiated to ensure Trump's safety. Trump initially boarded a former Air Force One aircraft in public view, but was then secretly transferred via a catering truck to a smaller military C-32A aircraft parked nearby. He then flew to a US base in the UK under the guise of a photo opportunity before returning to Washington. This covert operation was so secret that some of Trump's own staff were unaware of the switch, with many believing he had returned on the original Air Force One. The White House declined to comment on most details, though Communications Director Steven Cheung stated the new aircraft had "high-level security protocols."
