从特朗普总统近日出席北约峰会的表现来看，有一点十分明确：他认为伊朗想要取他的性命。
“我是伊朗暗杀名单上的头号人物，”总统周三对记者说道，“但我更希望自己在TikTok上排名第一。”
特朗普在峰会期间多次提及此事，其坦率程度放在其他任何一位总统身上都可能显得不同寻常。
一份新报告显示，美国官员或许掌握了新情报，佐证了对这一威胁的担忧：《华尔街日报》周四报道称，以色列近日向美国提供情报，指出伊朗已制定新的暗杀特朗普计划。
该报道也为外界围绕特朗普从北约峰会返程时从中途更换专机——从临时“空军一号”改为老式“空军一号”——的质疑提供了新背景。白宫并未透露此次更换专机是否与上述情报有关。
特朗普解释为何搭乘老式“空军一号”返回华盛顿
特朗普乘坐卡塔尔捐赠的翻新波音747新“空军一号”前往毗邻伊朗的土耳其出席峰会，但在返程第一段航程——从安卡拉飞往英国皇家空军米尔登霍尔基地——时，换乘了已作为“空军一号”服役三十余年的老式波音VC-25A专机。
从英国飞往美国的航程中，特朗普又换乘回了新专机。
曾随多位总统及副总统出访数十次的美国特勤局前特工比尔·盖奇对福克斯新闻数字频道表示，他“从未见过在海外访问途中更换专机的情况”。
特朗普则称，新专机被提前派往英国皇家空军米尔登霍尔基地，供美军人员参观。
“事情可能就这么简单，”盖奇说，“只是我这辈子都没见过这种操作。”
总统在周三的新闻发布会上推测，伊朗或许是想报复美国击杀其高级官员。
特朗普称伊朗停火协议已“失效”，此前伊朗发动袭击引发美军大规模反击
“他们有过一批领导人，已经被消灭了；后来又有一批领导人，也被消灭了，”特朗普说，“现在他们又有了一批新领导人，说不定也会被消灭。谁知道呢？而且你知道吗，说不定我也会被消灭，因为我是他们的头号目标。”
记者问及为何他两次暗示伊朗试图暗杀自己。
“我之所以经常谈论这件事，是因为总统的生命非常危险，”他说，“我其实并不在意，因为我正在履行职责，而且我希望自己比任何人都做得更好——我们的国家现在局势稳定，而且真的、真的非常成功……我更希望自己在TikTok上排名第一。但我确实是他们要暗杀的头号目标。”
伊朗政府未就特朗普的说法置评。
在伊朗最高领袖阿里·哈梅内伊周四于马什哈德举行的葬礼游行中，哀悼者举着“特朗普，我们要杀了你”和“我们要杀死特朗普”的标语，并高呼针对这位美国总统的复仇口号。
这些哀悼者并未被证实与伊朗领导层有关联。
但“这类标语只有得到伊朗政府许可才能制作和展示，”前国土安全部反恐政策副助理部长、大西洋理事会高级研究员汤姆·沃里克对福克斯新闻数字频道表示。
沃里克表示，在美国击杀哈梅内伊后，伊朗试图暗杀特朗普是合乎逻辑的。
“首先要理解伊朗特有的对称报复思维：他们对我们做了什么，就会回敬到某人头上，”沃里克对福克斯新闻数字频道说，“我们很多人都预料到伊朗会试图暗杀特朗普，而且他们很可能会一直这么做下去。”
此次更换专机的举动很快引发质疑：临时“空军一号”是否配备了老式总统专机全套的防御升级系统。
专机照片和美国空军的声明显示，包括部分导弹探测和对抗系统在内的多项复杂改装，在此次加速改装过程中被有意省略。
自1990年以来，两架老旧的波音VC-25A专机一直担任“空军一号”，而波音公司正在制造两架新的VC-25B专机，原计划2024年交付，如今交付时间已推迟至2028年或2029年。
在此期间，美国斥资4亿美元翻新了卡塔尔捐赠的这架专机，以作为“空军一号”使用。
运营总统专机机队的美国空军此前曾表示，为了让这架被称为“过渡”专机的卡塔尔捐赠波音747提前投入使用，他们优先完成了部分改装项目。
空军称，此次快速改装“未在安全、安保或通信安全方面承担任何风险”，但同时承认“最终版‘空军一号’所需的多项高度复杂的工程改装被有意排除在了过渡专机之外”。
据《纽约时报》报道，特勤局建议特朗普乘坐老旧专机，以应对美伊紧张局势再次升级带来的安全风险。
白宫拒绝透露，在美伊局势最新升级后，针对总统的威胁是否有所变化，也未说明更换专机是否与安全担忧有关，但表示新“空军一号”是安全的。
“新‘空军一号’是一架最先进的飞机，配备了高级安全协议，能够确保总统及其团队的安全，”白宫通讯主任史蒂文·张在给福克斯新闻数字频道的一份声明中表示，“正如总统近日所说，美国有许多敌人都将目光对准了他，我们会动用一切可用手段应对这些威胁。”
联邦调查局拒绝就伊朗威胁等级是否发生变化置评，特勤局未回应置评请求。
盖奇警告称，他并不清楚更换专机的直接原因，但如果有关特勤局建议更换专机的报道属实，“特勤局不会无缘无故提出这种建议。肯定有某种情报促使他们这么做。”
盖奇表示，特勤局与整个情报界合作，很可能有专门团队专门监控伊朗针对总统的威胁。
“每天大概有20到30人专门负责这项工作，梳理海量的人力情报和开源情报，试图从中找到有价值的线索，”盖奇说，他指的是人力情报和开源情报。
特朗普发表此番言论之际，美伊之间脆弱的停火协议已然破裂。
这项由巴基斯坦及其他地区斡旋方促成、于6月签署的谅解备忘录停火协议，原计划暂停战斗60天，以便双方谈判达成更广泛的协议。该协议要求伊朗保持霍尔木兹海峡通航，并为未来就解除制裁等问题的谈判奠定框架。
但在伊朗袭击霍尔木兹海峡的商业船只后，该协议迅速破裂，引发美国新一轮军事行动。美国中央司令部发起新一轮空袭，打击与海上行动相关的伊朗军事基础设施及其他军事据点，特朗普则宣布停火协议“失效”，并警告伊朗若继续发动袭击，美方将采取进一步行动。
在《华尔街日报》周四报道以色列近日向美国提供情报，指出伊朗已制定新的暗杀特朗普计划后，有关威胁是否升级的质疑变得更加紧迫。特朗普在北约峰会期间多次称自己是伊朗的头号目标，并表示自己“一直面临威胁”。
2020年1月美国无人机击杀伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队少将卡西姆·苏莱曼尼后，伊朗官员多次誓言复仇，美国官员长期以来也一直警告称，德黑兰一直在试图针对参与此次行动的现任及前任美国官员实施暗杀。
美国政府公开指控多起与伊朗有关的暗杀特朗普阴谋。

2024年，司法部指控一名据称隶属于伊斯兰革命卫队的人员策划监视并暗杀当时的总统当选人特朗普，称这是伊朗更广泛报复行动的一部分。
同年早些时候，一名据称与伊朗有关联的巴基斯坦国民也因一起雇凶杀人阴谋被起诉。2024年大选期间针对特朗普的国内暗杀企图均未被公开证实与伊朗有关。
Trump says he’s Iran’s ‘No. 1’ target as renewed conflict raises assassination fears

Trump says he’s Iran’s top assassination target
During a NATO news conference, President Trump says he’s “No. 1 on the kill list for Iran” and addresses questions about why he was returning home on the legacy Air Force One instead of the new presidential jet.

One thing was clear from President Donald Trump’s appearance at the NATO summit in recent days: He believes Iran wants him dead.
“I’m No. 1 on the kill list for Iran,” the president told reporters Wednesday. “I like being number one on TikTok better.”
Trump returned to the subject repeatedly throughout the summit — with a level of candidness that might seem unusual for any other president.
A new report suggests U.S. officials may have had fresh intelligence to support concerns about the threat: The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday that Israel recently shared intelligence with the United States indicating Iran had developed a new plan to assassinate Trump.
The report also adds new context to questions surrounding Trump’s decision to switch from the interim Air Force One to one of the legacy VC-25A aircraft during his return from the NATO summit. The White House has not said whether the reported intelligence played any role in that decision.
TRUMP EXPLAINS WHY HE’S FLYING OLD AIR FORCE ONE BACK TO DC
Trump flew to the summit in Turkey, which borders Iran, aboard the new Air Force One, a retrofitted Boeing 747 donated by Qatar, but switched to one of the older Boeing VC-25A aircraft that have served as Air Force One for more than three decades for the first leg of his trip home, from Ankara to Royal Air Force Mildenhall in the United Kingdom.

From the U.K. to the U.S., Trump switched back to the newer jet.
Bill Gage, a former Secret Service special agent who traveled on dozens of presidential and vice presidential foreign trips, told Fox News Digital he had “never seen a plane switch up” in the middle of an overseas visit.
Trump said the newer aircraft was instead flown ahead of him to Royal Air Force Mildenhall, U.K., so U.S. troops could tour it.
“It could be that simple,” Gage said. “I just have never seen that in all my years.”
The president surmised in a press briefing Wednesday that Iran may want revenge for the U.S. killing its leadership.

“They had leaders, they’re gone, and they had another set of leaders, they’re gone,” Trump said. “Now they have another set of leaders, they may be gone. Who knows? And you know what, I may be gone too, because I’m their number one target.”
The president was asked why twice he had alluded to Iran attempting to assassinate him.
“I speak about it a lot because the life of a president is very dangerous,” he said. “I don’t really care, because I’m doing my job, and I’m doing it, I hope better than anybody’s ever done it, because we have a country that’s hot and really, really successful … I like being No. 1 on TikTok better. But I’m No. 1 on the list for killing.”
The Iranian government did not return a request for comment on Trump’s assertion.
During Thursday’s funeral procession for Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in Mashhad, Iran, mourners carried banners reading “Hey Trump, we will kill you” and “We will kill Trump” while chanting revenge slogans against the U.S. president.
The mourners were not publicly linked to Iranian leadership.
But, “banners like that can only be put together and carried with the permission of the Iranian government,” Tom Warrick, a former Department of Homeland Security deputy assistant secretary for counterterrorism policy and senior fellow at the Atlantic Council, told Fox News Digital.

Warrick said it would make sense for Iran to try to kill Trump after the U.S. killed Khamenei.
“The starting point is understanding Iran’s peculiar sense of symmetry. Anything that’s done to them, they try to do back at somebody,” Warrick told Fox News Digital. “Many of us expected there would be an Iranian attempt to kill President Trump, and they’re likely to persist in this.”
The summit aircraft change quickly fueled questions about whether the interim Air Force One had received the full suite of defensive upgrades carried by the legacy presidential aircraft.
Images of the jet and Air Force statements indicate that several complex modifications, including some missile detection and countermeasure systems, were intentionally left off the accelerated retrofitting.
Two aging Boeing VC-25A aircraft have served as Air Force One since 1990, while Boeing builds two new VC-25B aircraft to serve as Air Force One that originally were supposed to be completed in 2024. Now, that timeline has slipped to 2028 or 2029.
The U.S. spent $400 million upgrading the Qatari-donated jet to serve as Air Force One in the meantime.
The U.S. Air Force, which operates the presidential aircraft fleet, had previously said it prioritized certain modifications in order to bring the Qatari-donated Boeing 747 — known as the “Bridge” aircraft — into service on an accelerated timeline.
The Air Force said the rapid conversion was completed “without accepting any risk regarding security, safety, or secure communications,” but acknowledged that “several highly complex engineering modifications required for the final (Air Force One aircraft) were intentionally excluded from the Bridge aircraft.”
The Secret Service had recommended Trump use the older plane as a security precaution as hostilities fired up once again with Iran, The New York Times reported.
The White House declined to say whether the administration believes the threat to the president has changed following the latest escalation with Iran or whether the aircraft change was related to security concerns, but said the new Air Force One is secure.
“The new Air Force One is a state-of-the-art aircraft that has been fitted with high-level security protocols that ensure the safety of the President and his staff,” Steven Cheung, White House director of communications, said in a statement to Fox News Digital. “As the President has said recently, there are many enemies of America who have their sights on him, and we use every tool at our disposal to address those threats.”
The FBI declined to comment on whether the Iranian threat level had changed and the Secret Service did not return a request for comment.
Gage cautioned that he had no firsthand knowledge of why the aircraft was changed, but said that if reporting that the Secret Service recommended the switch was accurate, “the Secret Service would not have just said that in a vacuum, out of the blue. There must have been some kind of intelligence that prompted them.”
Gage said the Secret Service, working with the broader intelligence community, likely has a dedicated team focused exclusively on monitoring threats from Iran directed at the president.

“There’s probably 20 or 30 people every day that are working on that, going through reams of HUMINT and OSINT and trying to find that diamond in the rough,” Gage said, referring to human intelligence and open-source intelligence.
Trump’s comments came as a tenuous U.S.-Iran ceasefire unraveled.
The truce, formalized in a June memorandum of understanding brokered by Pakistan and other regional mediators, was intended to halt fighting for 60 days while the two sides negotiated a broader agreement. The deal called for Iran to keep the Strait of Hormuz open and laid out a framework for future talks on sanctions relief and other issues.
But the agreement rapidly broke down after Iran attacked commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, prompting renewed U.S. military action. U.S. Central Command launched a new round of strikes targeting Iranian military infrastructure tied to maritime operations and other military sites, while Trump declared the ceasefire “over” and warned of further action if Iran continued its attacks.
Questions about whether the threat had intensified gained new urgency Thursday after The Wall Street Journal reported that Israel recently shared intelligence with the United States indicating Iran had developed a fresh assassination plot targeting Trump. Trump repeatedly described himself during the NATO summit as Iran’s top target and said he faces “a threat all the time.”
Following the January 2020 U.S. drone strike that killed Iranian Revolutionary Guard Gen. Qassem Soleimani, Iranian officials have repeatedly vowed revenge, and U.S. officials have long warned that Tehran has sought to target current and former American officials involved in the operation.
The U.S. government has publicly alleged multiple Iran-linked assassination plots targeting Trump.
Following the U.S. killing of Soleimani in 2020, Iranian officials repeatedly vowed revenge, prompting the U.S. government to provide additional security to Trump and several former administration officials involved in the operation. The government has long warned that Tehran has sought to target current and former American officials linked to the strike.

In 2024, the Justice Department charged an alleged Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps asset with directing a plot to surveil and assassinate then-President-elect Trump, describing it as part of Iran’s broader campaign of retaliation.
Earlier that year, a Pakistani national with alleged ties to Iran was also charged in a separate murder-for-hire scheme. None of the domestic assassination attempts against Trump during the 2024 campaign have been publicly linked to Iran.
