JUST IN: Stunning Plot To Attack Trump’s Plane Is Revealed

An Iranian-backed plot to assassinate President Donald Trump has been foiled by federal authorities who disclosed that the nation’s radical Muslim leaders had placed sleeper cells within the U.S.

The prospect of terrorists living in the U.S. has existed for decades, but until recently, the discovery of Iranian agents had not been known. Those placed in the continental U.S. were equipped with access to surface-to-air missiles capable of taking down Trump’s airplane, according to Politico reporter Alex Isenstadt, who was given “extensive access” to Trump’s inner circle during the 2024 campaign.

In his new book “Revenge: The Inside Story of Trump’s Return to Power,” Isenstadt chronicles efforts by the FBI and Secret Service to thwart plots against Trump’s life, two of which nearly succeeded. Somewhere along the way, the Secret Service shot down a drone that agents believed was following the president’s motorcade along a predetermined route.

“Law enforcement officials warned Trump last year that Tehran had placed operatives in the U.S. with access to surface-to-air missiles,” he wrote, the Daily Caller reports. “Trump’s team worried that the Iranians could try to down his easily recognizable personal jet — better known as ‘Trump Force One’ — as it was taking off or landing.”

Their concerns that Iran would make good on an attempt intensified following the shooting on July 13th in Butler, Pennsylvania, that nearly claimed Trump’s life. The gunman, 20-year-old Thomas Crooks, has not definitively been linked to Iran or any adversarial nation, yet threats of similar attacks have persisted.

The following month, Ryan Routh was found with a rifle aimed at Trump while he played golf at Mar-a-Lago, leading authorities to fear that Iran may attempt to shoot down his airplane one day as he returned to his Florida residence.

Isenstadt reports that the threat was taken so seriously by the Secret Service that, at one point, agents began directing Trump to fly on an alternate plane from his own.

Instead, a number of Trump aides were flown on his personal plane as a decoy.

On another occasion, Secret Service agents protecting candidate Trump used an electromagnetic stun gun to disable a drone flying over his motorcade. Neither threat had previously been disclosed to the public.

The revelations come shortly after President Trump threatened to “unleash all hell” on Iran if its clerics target current or former U.S. officials with terrorist attacks. The Republican recently told media outlets he left military leaders with a set of directives to act on if he is assassinated by Iran.

“And that would be a terrible thing for them to do,” he said. “Not because of me, because if they did that, they would be obliterated. That would be the end. I’ve left instructions — if they do it, they get obliterated. There won’t be anything left.”
