According to a Wall Street Journal report, intelligence passed from Israel indicated that Iran planned to shoot down Air Force One using shoulder-fired missiles, prompting a decision to sneak President Donald Trump off the aircraft. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and other aides reportedly remained on board despite the assessed threat.
