A new book has revealed that the magnitude of Iran's threat to Donald Trump's life during the 2024 presidential campaign was larger than previously thought, to the extent that at one point the then-candidate used a decoy plane amid fears he could be shot down.
The book in question is called "Revenge: The Inside Story of Trump's Return to Power." It was written by Alex Isenstadt and shows how much the threat impacted the now president. The author illustrates his point by recalling Trump's recent statement about leaving instructions to "obliterate" Iran if he were to be assassinated by its operatives, although he acknowledges Trump later tempered the statement by saying he wanted a "verified nuclear peace agreement."
