Iran's threat to assassinate Donald Trump during the 2024 campaign was far more serious than publicly known — and led to extraordinary precautions by his team that included using a decoy plane to avert a feared attempt on his life.

Iran's threat to assassinate Donald Trump during the 2024 campaign was far more serious than publicly known — and led to extraordinary precautions by his team that included using a decoy plane to avert a feared attempt on his life.
Extraordinary precautions, including the use of a decoy plane, were implemented by Trump’s team to counter the threat, according to a forthcoming book, Revenge: The Inside Story of Trump’s Return to Power written by Alex Isenstadt.
"Revenge: The Inside Story of Trump's Return to Power," reveals the depth of U.S. authorities' concerns about an Iranian attack on Trump — and how it impacted him.
Iran clearly is still on Trump's mind: Last week, he said he'd given his team instructions to "obliterate" Iran if its operatives were to kill him.
He later tempered that remark by saying he wanted a "verified nuclear peace agreement" with Iran, which has targeted Trump since 2020, when as president he ordered an airstrike that killed Qassem Soleimani, a top Iranian military leader.
For the book, which is set for release March 18, I was given extensive access to Trump's inner circle during his campaign.
Law enforcement officials warned Trump last year that Tehran had placed operatives in the U.S. with access to surface-to-air missiles.
Trump's team worried that the Iranians could try to down his easily recognizable personal jet — better known as "Trump Force One" — as it was taking off or landing.
The concern intensified after a foiled assassination attempt of Trump at his golf course in West Palm Beach, Fla., on Sept. 15.
