Axios reports on new book alleging extraordinary measures against Iranian assassination plans.
Iran ’s 2024 assassination threat against Donald Trump was more serious than widely known, forcing his team to take extraordinary precautions, including a decoy plane. In an exclusive for Axios, Alex Isenstadt previews his upcoming book, Revenge: The Inside Story of Trump’s Return to Power, revealing how these threats reshaped Trump’s campaign, security measures, and rhetoric—underscoring the ongoing fallout from his 2020 strike on Iran ian General Qassem Soleimani.
Trump’s team feared the Iranians could try to down his easily recognizable personal jet—better known as “Trump Force One”—as it was taking off or landing. In one tense episode, now called the “Ghost Flight,” Trump’s security team arranged for him to travel on a decoy plane, fearing an attack from surface-to-air missiles—without most of his staff knowing.
“Much of Trump’s staff traveled on Trump Force One that day—infuriating some aides who worried they’d be ‘collateral damage’ if the jet were shot down.”
