Turkish officials suspect that an Israeli intelligence report warning of an Iranian plot to assassinate US President Donald Trump was fabricated to derail a potential US-Iran deal. According to the reports, Israeli intelligence had warned that Iranian operatives planned to target Trump's Air Force One with shoulder-fired missiles during a NATO summit in Ankara last month.
The suspicion among Turkish authorities centers on the motivation behind the intelligence warning, which they believe was strategically timed to disrupt diplomatic efforts between the United States and Iran. The alleged plot specifically involved targeting the US presidential aircraft during the high-profile international summit hosted in Turkey's capital.
