As tensions escalate between Iran and Israel, U.S. media has claimed that former President Donald Trump secretly approved plans for an attack on Iran. Following this development, the U.S. "Doomsday Plane," the E-4B Nightwatch, flying over Washington has drawn attention.
As tensions rise in the Middle East, news reports in the U.S. have revealed the scale of the crisis. As the ongoing conflicts between Israel and Iran intensify today, the American media claimed that President Donald Trump secretly approved military intervention plans against Iran.
"Doomsday Plane" Takes Off
One of the developments that strengthened the claims was the unexpected flight of the E-4B Nightwatch aircraft belonging to the U.S. Air Force over the capital, Washington. This special aircraft, known as the "Doomsday Plane," is designed to serve as a command center in the event of nuclear attacks and is activated in war and crisis scenarios.
Followed a Twisted Route
The E-4B Nightwatch followed a long and twisted route during its flight to Joint Base Andrews in Washington, D.C. The aircraft, which took off from the state of Louisiana, circled around several states before landing in the capital.
Call Sign Draws Attention
The most striking part of the flight was the use of the call sign "ORDER6" instead of "ORDER1." While the "ORDER1" code is used for unusual flights, the "ORDER6" code is used for normal times. Some observers suggested that the flight could be related to increased security for the president due to rising tensions in the Middle East.
Has a Crew of 112
The E-4B aircraft, of which there are four in the U.S. military, conducts regular flights throughout the year to maintain military readiness. The E-4B serves as an airborne command center for the President, Secretary of Defense, and Chiefs of Staff to ensure the continuity of critical command, control, and communication in emergencies. With a crew of 112, the E-4B can fly over 11,000 kilometers and is equipped to launch retaliatory missiles and withstand cyber attacks.
U.S. Maintains Silence
While no official statement has been made from the White House or the Pentagon, the claims have resonated worldwide. Harsh statements from Iran and Israel regarding the developments have brought war scenarios in the region back to the forefront.
Joint Iran Message from Putin and Xi
The Kremlin reported that Russian President Vladimir Putin had a telephone conversation with Chinese President Xi Jinping. In a statement from the Kremlin, it was noted that the two leaders condemned Israeli attacks on Iran. The statement also mentioned that Putin would visit China for World War II commemoration ceremonies on August 31. The Kremlin shared that both leaders agreed on the need for a diplomatic solution to the Iran-Israel conflict.
