The Wall Street Journal, citing a U.S. official, reported that Israel had provided Washington with information about the threat from the Islamic Republic to assassinate Donald Trump.

According to this report, in response to the threat, the U.S. Secret Service last month, when Trump was departing Turkey, secretly removed him from the “Air Force One” aircraft and transferred him to a military plane using a food truck.

The Israeli information indicated that the Iranian government intended to target Trump’s plane with shoulder-fired missiles.

Despite the threat, senior officials of the Trump administration, including Marco Rubio, the U.S. Secretary of State, remained on Air Force One.
