In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, A report said President Donald Trump switched departing planes in Turkey earlier this month due to information about a credible threat from Iranian proxies. The older jet was chosen in part because the newer, Qatar-gifted Air Force One was considered less protected, and concerns about security features prompted the change. The report also noted that the threat was not tied to the new plane, and described past efforts to obtain material related to the reporting, as Trump has cited Iranian threats publicly.
