President Trump was secretly taken off Air Force One in July because of a credible Iranian missile threat, and the presidential jet was then flown as a decoy with government employees and reporters aboard, according to a Washington Post report. The president had just attended a NATO summit in the Turkish capital, Ankara, and was being moved to a different plane. To get him safely to the replacement aircraft, officials used a catering container to smuggle him away. Air Force One itself took off anyway, with staff and journalists on board, to mislead any attackers. The episode highlights the severity of the threat and the extraordinary security measures taken.
