President Donald Trump, speaking aboard Air Force One after returning from a NATO summit, made a dark remark to a female reporter who asked whether there was a credible threat from Iran against the aircraft. Hours earlier, the U.S. had resumed military strikes on Iran, and Trump had switched to a different plane during the trip due to security concerns. The president told the journalist that he was Iran’s top target, then added that if he were killed, she would be as well. The exchange came amid heightened tensions: Iran has gained leverage by controlling the Strait of Hormuz, a key oil shipping lane, after U.S. attacks. Trump later claimed Iran wanted a deal but was “crazy,” while analysts noted the conflict could affect his political standing ahead of midterm elections.
