TRUMP'S FEAR OF IRAN

— Although no assassination attempts on Trump were linked to Iran, Trump's team worried Iran could take down "Trump Force One" with surface-to-air missiles from within the US

— (Trump terminated the Iran nuclear treaty and ordered the airstrike that assassinated Iran's Soleimani in 2020, often bragging about it)

— Recently, secret service had Trump travel on a decoy plane owned by real estate exec and Trump's Middle East envoy, Steve Witkoff

— But much of Trump's staff traveled on Trump Force One, infuriating aides who worried they were collateral damage

— Trump also traveled in one motorcade and staffers in another

— Trump gave his team instructions to "obliterate" Iran if its alleged operatives were to kill him

— Trump now says he wants a nuclear peace treaty with Iran
