## Summary

US intelligence officials were reportedly sceptical about an alleged Iranian threat that led President Donald Trump to switch aircraft. The report raises questions about how the threat assessment was interpreted and whether the security precaution was proportionate.

The article’s headline does not provide details of the purported threat, the timing of the aircraft change, or the officials’ specific objections. It indicates that the disagreement concerned intelligence assessments of Iran rather than the fact that a security decision was taken.
