iran the lede is shared by jonathan saul phil stewart and idrees ali transit through the strait of hormuz appeared to grind to a near standstill on friday after two more ships were attacked there and

along with some other close advisers leaving everyone on air force one in danger of being shot down by the iranians trump blames the secret service for what happened but he certainly could have arranged things differently he could even have had the press plane grounded in turkey until the other two planes landed in great britain after all he is supposedly the president of the united states

whichever plane was carrying the president and that someone in the vicinity of the nato summit had been spotted with a shoulder fired missile and the iranians knew specifically where mr trump was staying in ankara including which floor of the building the officials said the information was deemed sufficiently credible to lead mr trump and senior members of his administration to engage in an extraordinary decoy effort to get him out of turkey he boarded the older air force one in front of the cameras which he had announced he would be taking for old time s sake before sneaking off in an airport catering container and taking a military jet out of the country eric schmitt maggie haberman aric toler jamie leventhal simon ducroquet and yuliya parshina kottas at the new york times gift

aircraft hidden inside a catering container mr trump was next taken to a military jet for a clandestine flight out of turkey the 747 filled with journalists white house officials aides and others took off despite what was deemed a credible threat from iran against air force one gen dan caine the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff was integral to assessing the threat and deciding how to respond

steven cheung the white house communications director and stephen miller mr trump s deputy chief of staff as well as several other white house staff according to a senior u s official it was not clear whether they all knew about the threat whether or not the passengers on the plane that mr trump left behind knew about the threat they were exposed to risks that the secret service deemed too great for the president to face trump claims he had nothing to do with these decisions on tuesday evening in his first public comments about the secret evacuation mr trump said the decision was not his it s really just up to secret service he told reporters after returning from ohio i just follow what they like to do so i go by secret service and the military they wanted me to go in a different flight a different plane for safety is he the president or not since when does the president of the united states take orders from the secret service they advised him of the danger and he could have insisted

traveling with the president that day and for more than a month afterward among those on the smaller jet was defense secretary pete hegseth who boarded the c 32a using external stairs in a manner that made him look like the senior most official on the flight the post reported monday scavino harp and nauta were among an inner circle of supporters who worked for trump at his mar a lago estate in
