“He got me before I got him. They made two attempts. I got him first, tho. In a phone call with ABC correspondent Jonathan Karl the day after he began the US military assault against Iran in February, President Donald Trump made this statement. The Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and several senior Iranian leaders had just been killed in an Israeli airstrike that was approved and coordinated by the United States. Trump directly linked the attack to threats and purported plots the Iranians had made against him in the past.
In the six months of conflict that have followed, Trump has refrained from making similar statements, although Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth has expressed a similar opinion.He stated in March that an unidentified Iranian who he claimed oversaw an assassination unit had been killed in US strikes. “Iran attempted to kill President Trump, and President Trump got the last laugh,” he said.
These remarks allude to the intimate nature of this conflict and the president’s and his security team’s worries about the threat Iran continues to represent to his safety. This week’s disclosure that Trump covertly changed to a different plane during his travel back from the NATO summit in Turkey last month served as a stark reminder of those worries. He departed on the presidential Air Force One 747 jet, which turned into a decoy, leaving the media and the majority of the White House staff behind.
