An exclusive Axios report reveals that Iran’s threat to assassinate Donald Trump during the 2024 campaign was far more serious than publicly known, leading his team to deploy a decoy plane to avoid a feared missile attack. Law enforcement warned Trump that Iranian operatives with surface-to-air missiles were inside the U.S., heightening concerns after a foiled assassination attempt at his Florida golf course. The incident, detailed in Revenge, an upcoming book by Axios' Alex Isenstadt, shows how the threat deeply affected Trump’s campaign operations.
