Was Iran targeting Trump? Why did US President switch from Boeing 747-8 to legacy Air Force One? Report reveals….
U.S. President Donald Trump switched from a Qatari-donated Boeing 747-8 to the older Air Force One due to a credible security threat identified by U.S. intelligence, which suggested Iranian proxy forces were targeting him. The U.S. Secret Service advised the change after determining that the newer aircraft lacked the advanced defensive systems of the legacy Air Force One, which is equipped with technology to counter missile threats. Trump later stated his decision was for nostalgia, despite the security concerns raised by officials.
