President Donald Trump secretly boarded a third, smaller U.S. military aircraft using an airport catering truck as cover to depart the NATO summit in Turkey in July, according to a report, while utilizing an older Air Force One to maintain a low profile amidst reported Iranian threats. The move allowed Trump to bypass traditional security protocols and avoid detection by Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps. It is not clear if any intelligence was gathered during this period. Details of the operation remain classified for now.
