  "summary": "US President Donald Trump's travel plans were altered due to a potential threat from Iran. According to CBS News, new details have emerged about when US officials first learned of the possible plot.\n\nThe US Secret Service took the intelligence seriously and initiated an operation to obfuscate Trump's travel plan. The threat was reportedly \"Israeli-derived, not US-generated, and viewed as low confidence,\" according to the Jerusalem Post, citing current and former US officials.\n\nIran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi responded to Trump, warning Washington to \"be careful\" and accusing the US of having a history of intelligence failures. Trump had stated that the US has \"total control\" over the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran has disputed.",
