据一位知情人士透露，上月在土耳其举行的北约峰会最后一天，出现了针对“空军一号”的肩扛式导弹具体威胁，促使美国官员紧急策划秘密计划，安排总统唐纳德·特朗普搭乘备用专机悄悄离境。
该威胁细节具体充分，官员们担心，如果特朗普乘坐常规“空军一号”或是他赴峰会时搭乘的卡塔尔捐赠专机离境，其生命将面临极大风险。
该人士不愿透露威胁信息的来源，但表示此次威胁被认为严重，部分原因在于伊朗似乎对特朗普在土耳其的行程安排了如指掌。特朗普曾在土耳其首都安卡拉市中心的一家豪华连锁酒店过夜，并多次往返于酒店与峰会会场之间。
包括军方和特勤局官员在内的相关人员制定了计划，安排特朗普通过餐饮卡车换乘另一架飞机，并在数小时内离境。特朗普此次土耳其之行随行的多名高级官员包括国务卿马可·卢比奥、财政部长斯科特·贝森特、国防部长皮特·赫格斯瑟以及参谋长联席会议主席丹·凯恩将军。但并非所有人都将随总统一同离境。
美国有线电视新闻网（CNN）的一段视频分析显示，在特朗普的车队抵达停机坪前，安卡拉机场的工作人员已开始将餐饮卡车停靠在“空军一号”一侧。
特朗普登机后，餐饮卡车的货厢被放下，驶离这架大型专机，停靠到较小的C-32A专机旁。
这架载有其他人员的大型专机随后于当地时间晚8点44分左右起飞，恰好从搭载特朗普的小型专机上方飞过。一分钟后，小型专机滑出停机坪。
据美国官员透露，换乘专机时，卢比奥和贝森特都与其他白宫工作人员、军方人员及媒体记者一同留在了这架蓝白涂装的波音747专机上。
机上大多数乘客都不知道特朗普并不在机上。
据另一位熟悉安排的知情人士透露，特朗普的贴身助理们随总统登上了这架小型专机，其中包括定期随特朗普出行的行政助理娜塔莉·哈普、白宫副幕僚长丹·斯卡维诺，以及同样经常随总统出行的椭圆形办公室主任沃尔特·诺塔。
视频画面显示，赫格斯瑟、诺塔和哈普都在空军基地与特朗普同框，当时他正从旧“空军一号”登机前往那架卡塔尔捐赠的专机，准备返回华盛顿。
周二，特朗普证实了这一换机计划的大致框架，但淡化了此次换行动机的严重性。
“我只是听从他们的安排，我听特勤局和军方的。他们希望我搭乘另一架航班、另一架飞机，以保障同等安全，他们希望我这么做，我就照做。我听从他们的指令，”特朗普周二从俄亥俄州抵达安德鲁斯联合基地时对记者说道。
特朗普表示，他并未被告知太多促使此次秘密换机行动的细节，并称自己并不担心离境土耳其期间遭遇肩扛式导弹袭击的可能性。
“老实说，我什么都不担心，”他说，“不管是什么事，你懂我的态度吗？随便怎样都好。”
在北约峰会的最后一天，特朗普似乎一直对伊朗针对其本人的威胁十分在意，曾多次向记者提及此事。美国政府长期以来一直警告称，伊朗可能会试图暗杀特朗普，以报复他在2020年下令实施的无人机袭击，那次袭击造成伊朗高级将军卡西姆·苏莱曼尼身亡。
在特朗普访问土耳其的前几天，伊朗民众在为已故最高领袖阿亚图拉·阿里·哈梅内伊举行的葬礼期间，高呼口号要求处死特朗普。哈梅内伊是在美国与以色列对伊朗发动战争初期遇害的。
伊朗保守派神职人员、议会议员哈米德·拉塞伊在特朗普身处土耳其期间撰文称，应在该地区针对特朗普实施打击：“我的建议是：既然这个杂种特朗普就在我们的打击范围内，而且他来土耳其参加北约峰会，我们就应该毫不迟疑地正式用导弹袭击特朗普和其他几名罪犯在土耳其下榻的地点。”
峰会结束后的几天，CNN曾报道称，以色列向美国分享了情报，称伊朗近期制定了新的暗杀特朗普的计划。
但当时部分官员对以色列的情报表示质疑，认为该报告在一定程度上是以色列为影响特朗普对伊朗政策决策而采取的行动的一部分。

Shoulder-fired missile threat prompted Trump’s plane ruse, source says
2026-08-12T12:57:44.121Z / https://www.cnn.com/2026/08/12/politics/missile-threat-trump-plane
A specific threat to Air Force One by a shoulder-fired missile emerged on the final day of last month’s NATO summit in Turkey, according to a person familiar with the matter, prompting the scramble among US officials to devise the furtive plan to sneak President Donald Trump out of the country on an alternate jet.
The threat was specific enough that officials feared Trump’s life would be at enormous risk if he flew out of the country on either the legacy Air Force One plane or the Qatar-donated jet that he used to fly to the summit.
The person declined to say where information about the threat originated, but said it was believed to be serious in part because of how specifically the Iranians seemed to know details of Trump’s arrangements in Turkey. Trump spent one night in Ankara, the Turkish capital, at a luxury chain hotel downtown, and traveled several times between the hotel and the summit venues.
Officials, including from the military and Secret Service, put together the plan to move Trump to another plane by way of a catering truck to fly out of the country within hours. Trump had been accompanied to Turkey by several senior officials, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Dan Caine. But not all would join the president when he left.
A video analysis by CNN showed officials at the Ankara Airport began positioning the catering truck at the side of Air Force One before his motorcade arrived to the tarmac.
After Trump boarded the plane, the catering truck’s container was lowered and it drove away from the bigger plane and pulling up to the smaller C-32A.
The larger plane, now without the president on board, took off at roughly 8:44 p.m. local time, passing right past the smaller plane with Trump inside. The smaller plane taxied away a minute later.
When it came time to switch planes, both Rubio and Bessent remained behind on the blue and white Boeing 747 along with other White House staffers, military personnel and members of the press, according to US officials.
Most of the passengers on the plane were unaware that Trump was not aboard.
Close personal aides joined the president aboard the small aircraft that ferried him to a military base in Britain, according to a person familiar with the arrangements, including Natalie Harp, an executive assistant who regularly accompanies Trump when he travels; Dan Scavino, a deputy White House chief of staff; and Walt Nauta, the director of Oval Office operations who also frequently travels with the president.
Hegseth, Nauta and Harp are all seen on video alongside Trump at the airbase as he walked from the old Air Force One jet to the new Qatari plane for the flight home to Washington.
On Tuesday, Trump confirmed the broad contours of the scheme but downplayed the nature of the ruse.
“I just follow what they’d like to do. So I go by Secret Service. And the military. They wanted me to go on a different flight, a different plane, equal safety, but they wanted me to do it, so I do it. I do what they say,” Trump told reporters as he landed at Joint Base Andrews from Ohio on Tuesday.
Trump said he was not given many details about what necessitated the clandestine maneuvering and professed to be unbothered about the possibility of a shoulder-fired missile attack during his departure from Turkey.
“I don’t worry about anything, to be honest,” he said. “Whatever it is, you know my attitude? Whatever.”
Trump had appeared preoccupied with Iranian threats on his life over the course of his final day at the NATO summit, raising the issue repeatedly with reporters. The US government has long warned that Iran may try to kill Trump in retaliation for the 2020 drone strike he ordered which killed a top Iranian general, Qasem Soleimani.
In the days before Trump’s visit to Turkey, crowds of Iranians called for Trump’s death during funeral proceedings for the slain Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed at the start of the US-Israeli war against Iran.
Hamid Rasaei, a conservative cleric and member of Iran’s parliament, wrote when Trump was in Turkey that the US president should be targeted while in the region: “My suggestion is this: Now that the bastard Trump is within our reach and has come to Turkey for the NATO summit, we should officially and without hesitation target the location where Trump and several other criminals are staying in Turkey with a missile.”
CNN reported in the days following the summit that Israel had shared intelligence with the United States that Iran had recently devised a new plan to assassinate Trump.
But some officials at the time cast skepticism on the Israeli intelligence, suggesting the report was viewed — in part — as piece of a broader Israeli effort to influence Trump’s decision making on Iran.
