Donald Trump’s ‘doomsday plane’ makes ‘highly unusual’ flight as he gives terrifying warning

Donald Trump’s ‘doomsday plane’ was reportedly airborne yesterday evening, mounting speculation as conflict in the Middle East continues to escalate.

The Boeing E-4B ‘Nightwatch’, commonly known by its nickname ‘doomsday plane’, took off on a four-hour flight from Bossier City at 5:56pm ET, landing at Joint Base Andrews at 10:01pm ET last night.

The US has four E-4B aircrafts in its fleet, with the ‘doomsday plane’ having been used in emergencies such as 9/11 – and it appears to have been activated this week.

The ‘doomsday plane’ touched down at Joint Base Andrews late last night following an irregular flight path from Barksdale Air Force Base in Shreveport, Louisiana.

Essentially, the aircraft serves as a command post for the president and top military officials in the event of catastrophic events and even a nuclear war.

It can theoretically withstand nuclear blasts and electromagnetic pulses, meaning it can be very useful in the event of a disaster occurring.

The US Air Force explains: “In case of national emergency or destruction of ground command and control centers, the aircraft provides a highly survivable command, control and communications center to direct U.S. forces, execute emergency war orders, and coordinate actions by civil authorities.”

The use of the aircraft has sparked worries surrounding the ongoing issues across the world as the plane is typically used during major national or global crises.

However, it’s important to clarify that the fleet does make routine flights throughout the year.

Official confirmation as to why the plane left the hangar this week remains unclear, though it comes amid rising tensions in the US.

Israel has been conducting strikes in Tehran since June 13, which so far has gone on without US involvement. In retaliation, Iran has fired back its own missiles, with some even getting through the country’s Iron Dome defenses in Tel Aviv.

Trump has certainly not shied away from talking about Iran, stating the country must come to make a new nuclear deal now or face more strikes and further death.

Taking to Truth Social recently, the president wrote: “We now have complete and total control of the skies over Iran. Iran had good sky trackers and other defensive equipment, and plenty of it, but it doesn’t compare to American made, conceived, and manufactured ‘stuff.’ Nobody does it better than the good ol’ USA.”

In a follow up post, he added: “We know exactly where the so-called ‘Supreme Leader’ is hiding. He is an easy target, but is safe there – We are not going to take him out (kill!), at least not for now. But we don’t want missiles shot at civilians, or American soldiers. Our patience is wearing thin. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

President Donald Trump has described the bombing of Iran from Israel as a ‘very successful attack’ as he urges them to ‘make a deal’.

The 78-year-old has been pushing for the Middle Eastern country to sign a nuclear deal with the group of world powers known as the P5+1 – which includes the US, UK, Germany, France, China and Russia, who’ve all been in negotiation with Iran in regards to its nuclear program since 2006.

For those unaware, the deal was for Iran to bring to a halt its nuclear development program – with world leaders worried that the country intends to create a nuclear artillery for warfare. In return for Iran axing the program, the US and other leading nations would lift the sanctions placed on Iran.

The agreement is similar to the first deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), struck in 2015. However, Trump opted the US out of it in May 2018 during his first term as president, labelling it ‘defective at its core’.

The Trump administration then sought to reinstate the sanctions on Iran, a move which the country’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said ‘disgraced’ US prestige and liberal democracy, according to the BBC.

Upon his return to the White House, Trump issued a batch of sanctions on Iran, this time directed at their’ oil network’, as per Al Jazeera.

Between 2012 and 2016, the Iranian economy lost a total of $160 billion in revenue from its oil supply alone. After Trump reimposed sanctions in 2018, the Iranian rial, its local currency, dropped to a record low.

Iran is currently in a deep recession and has been since the sanctions were put in place.

“I gave Iran chance after chance to make a deal. I told them, in the strongest of words, to ‘just do it,’ but no matter how hard they tried, no matter how close they got, they just couldn’t get it done,” the Republican wrote on Truth Social.

“I told them it would be much worse than anything they know, anticipated, or were told, that the United States makes the best and most lethal military equipment anywhere in the World, BY FAR, and that Israel has a lot of it, with much more to come – And they know how to use it.”

Since then, Israel launched a major attack in the early hours of this morning (June 13) that set off explosions in the Iranian capital Tehran.

Israel said it hit ‘dozens of military targets, including nuclear targets in different areas of Iran’, killing Iran’s top military and nuclear scientists (via the BBC).

Israel’s attack comes as tensions have escalated over Iran’s rapidly advancing nuclear programme, with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu saying that the strikes were ‘a targeted military operation to roll back the Iranian threat to Israel’s very survival’.

Trump’s post continued: “Certain Iranian hardliner’s spoke bravely, but they didn’t know what was about to happen. They are all DEAD now, and it will only get worse!

“There has already been great death and destruction, but there is still time to make this slaughter, with the next already planned attacks being even more brutal, come to an end.

“Iran must make a deal, before there is nothing left, and save what was once known as the Iranian Empire. No more death, no more destruction, JUST DO IT, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE. God Bless You All!”

He later added: “Two months ago I gave Iran a 60 day ultimatum to ‘make a deal.’ They should have done it! Today is day 61. I told them what to do, but they just couldn’t get there. Now they have, perhaps, a second chance!”

He also told CNN that the strikes were a ‘very successful attack’, adding that the US ‘supports Israel’.

Donald Trump has made come bold threats to Iran amid the country’s ongoing conflict with Israel.

Israel and Iran have been trading strikes for three days straight after Israel’s surprise bombardment of Iran’s nuclear and military sites on Friday (June 13) killed several top generals and nuclear scientists.

President Trump branded Friday’s strike as ‘a very successful attack’ and urged the two countries to make a deal. But neither Iran or Israel seem to be backing down anytime soon, making a possible deal being met unlikely.

Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araghchi said on Sunday that if the Israeli strikes on Iran stop, then ‘our responses will also stop’.

Trump has expressed full support for Israel’s actions in the past few days while warning Iran that it can only avoid further destruction by agreeing to a new nuclear deal.

While he has voiced his support for Israel, the POTUS took to Truth Social to deny America’s involvement in Israel’s latest strikes on Iran.

“The U.S. had nothing to do with the attack on Iran, tonight,” said Trump. “If we are attacked in any way, shape or form by Iran, the full strength and might of the U.S. Armed Forces will come down on you at levels never seen before.

“However, we can easily get a deal done between Iran and Israel, and end this bloody conflict!!!”

Dozens of lives have already been lost in just a short period of time in both Israel and Iran.

Yesterday, Iran’s UN ambassador said 78 people had been killed and more than 320 wounded. This figure is yet to be updated in the wake of the strikes in Tehran in the early hours of this morning, says PA.

In Israel, at least 10 people were killed in Iranian strikes overnight and into Sunday, according to Israel’s Magen David Adom rescue service, bringing the country’s total death toll to 13.

Famous faces have also been mixed up in the conflict, with Caitlyn Jenner speaking out from an Israeli bomb shelter during Iran’s strikes on the country.

Jenner, a transgender woman, travelled to Israel to attend the Pride Month parade in Tel Aviv scheduled for Friday, but the event was quickly canceled due to safety concerns.

Taking to social media, Jenner penned: “We are back in the shelters in Tel Aviv. This looks like it is the third wave of attack from Iran.”

It’s unclear when Jenner will be able to return home to the US as Israel’s airports have been closed for three days.
