'Fear of our military': Iran mocks Trump over aircraft switch during Turkey trip
The Secret Service subsequently moved Trump onto a smaller government aircraft in an effort to conceal his movements.
Iranian state media mocked US President Donald Trump after it was revealed he secretly switched to a smaller aircraft during his visit to Turkey last month. The incident was seen as evidence of how seriously Washington views Iran's military capabilities. Trump was reportedly moved to the smaller plane due to a threat from Iran that its air force one could be targeted by a shoulder-fired missile.
The Secret Service considered the threat credible and took extraordinary security measures to ensure Trump's safety. This move quickly became a target of ridicule from Iranian officials, with billboards and murals in Tehran depicting Trump in humiliating situations.
