Iran mocks Trump's secret jet swap

Iran's state media has ridiculed US President Donald Trump following revelations about a secret aircraft swap during his visit to Turkey, claiming it highlights his insecurity regarding Iran's military might, according to Reuters. A presenter on the state TV remarked that the controversy has dominated US media recently, citing fear of Iran's military strength and humiliating Trump.

It was reported that a threat of a shoulder-fired missile targeting Air Force One prompted the Secret Service to covertly transfer Trump onto a smaller government jet on the last day of his NATO summit visit to Ankara. The White House could not be reached due to the time, and Iran has not commented on the allegations or the aircraft switch.

Billboards and murals in Tehran continue to target Trump and Israel, with imagery ranging from Trump in a coffin to drowning in the sea. Meanwhile, Iran's Supreme Leader vowed vengeance for his father's death during the war.
