President Donald Trump was secretly evacuated from Turkey on a military jet after allegedly facing an assassination threat linked to Iran, according to a senior US official. The incident occurred following a NATO summit, with Trump reportedly hiding in a catering cart at the airport before being flown out of the country. Multiple sources confirmed the unusual departure, with some reporting that the president used a food truck to avoid detection.
The move came amid heightened tensions over the Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway for global oil trade. Trump has repeatedly claimed full control over the strait, asserting that US forces have cleared it of Iranian mines. However, Iran has demanded concessions before allowing full reopening of the passage. The US and Iran are reportedly adjusting their positions in ongoing negotiations, though progress remains uncertain.
The secret flight has raised questions about security protocols and diplomatic tensions. While Trump has emphasized the need for a breakthrough in talks, the incident highlights the fragile nature of US-Iran relations. Officials have not yet commented on the details of the threat, but the event underscores the high stakes of current negotiations.
