US President Donald Trump reportedly travelled aboard the older Air Force One during a recent NATO summit after intelligence warnings of an alleged Iranian assassination plot prompted heightened security measures.
According to reports from US media, Israeli intelligence shared information with American officials claiming Iran was planning a fresh attempt to target Trump.
