Trump claims he is Iran's No. 1 assassination target, switches planes for return trip

Donald Trump, during a press conference following a NATO summit in Ankara, Turkey, asserted that he is the number one target on Iran's assassination list. When asked if he was leaving Turkey on an older Air Force One due to potential Iranian threats, Trump confirmed the claim.

“

I am number one on the assassination list of Iran.

"The life of a president is very dangerous," Trump stated, elaborating on his assertion. He humorously added that being number one on TikTok was preferable to being number one on a kill list, but he was unconcerned as he was doing his job.

Trump also revealed that the new Air Force One, a modified Boeing 747 jumbo jet gifted by Qatar at an estimated cost of $400 million, was en route to Britain. He mentioned plans to visit military bases to showcase the aircraft to soldiers before returning to the U.S. as usual. He had previously shared on Truth Social that he would take the older plane from Turkey to Mildenhall for a short trip, describing it as a worthwhile journey to give military heroes a chance to see the new aircraft.
