A credible threat from Iran, as assessed by U.S. intelligence agencies, prompted President Donald Trump to leave Turkey using an alternative military aircraft. Meanwhile, the White House publicly maintained that he was on board Air Force One, according to a report from The Washington Post released Monday. On camera, he boarded the iconic blue and white Boeing 747—known as the classic Air Force One—and waved from the stairs. Meanwhile, the classic Air Force One, carrying journalists and some White House staff, acted as a decoy and adopted the call sign "AF1" mid-flight. Additional concerns included the new Air Force One—a Boeing 747-8 donated by Qatar, valued at around $400 million—which Trump had used to travel to Turkey on July 7.
