Trump's Secret Departure from Ankara Due to Iranian Assassination Threat

Trump used a decoy plane to fly out of Turkey after an Iranian assassination plot was uncovered. The elaborate ruse underscores serious regional tensions and U.S.-Turkey security cooperation. Multiple major outlets (Reuters, NBC Washington) now confirm the secret plane swap. Trump downplays the incident but acknowledges the alternative plane faced 'greater risk.' The White House's lack of press pool transparency is unprecedented. This is a new, high-profile national security incident.
