Trump Secretly Switched Planes After Warning of Possible Iranian Missile Attack, Sources Say.

Multiple U.S. sources said President Donald Trump was forced to switch aircraft last month after a security threat alert. Central Intelligence Agency officials, however, assessed the Israeli intelligence behind the warning as having low credibility. In early July, Trump attended a NATO summit in Ankara, Turkey.

When he left, he did not board Air Force One, the presidential aircraft, and instead secretly switched to a military plane. The Wall Street Journal recently reported that Israeli intelligence officials had warned the U.S. at the time that Iran might use shoulder-fired surface-to-air missiles to attack Trump's aircraft.
