According to reports citing multiple sources, former President Donald Trump utilized a secondary military aircraft to depart Turkey last month due to security concerns related to an alleged Iranian assassination plot. The operation involved a staged departure where Trump was initially seen boarding a large Air Force One jumbo jet in Ankara in front of television cameras.

Following this public appearance, the former president was reportedly transferred to a smaller Air Force C-32A aircraft to complete his exit from the country. The use of the smaller plane was intended to provide a more discreet departure as security officials assessed the credibility of threats against him. While the reports highlight the logistical complexity of the move, they focus on the security measures taken by the U.S. government to mitigate risks posed by foreign actors. There is currently no official confirmation from the former president's team or the Department of Defense regarding the specific nature of the threat or the operational details of the flight transfer.
