On Tuesday evening, a U.S. Air Force Boeing E-4B Nightwatch, known as the Doomsday Plane, flew from Barksdale Air Force Base to Joint Base Andrews in Maryland after a four-hour flight.
The flight took place during escalating regional tensions and concerns over potential nuclear conflict in the Middle East, with the unusual callsign ORDER01 sparking speculation about heightened U.S. Military alertness.
Some observers interpreted the mission on Tuesday as related to increased protective measures for the president, who privately reviewed attack options against Iran but did not give final approval for military strikes.
This week, President Trump demanded Tehran's 'unconditional surrender,' which Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei rejected, stating Iran would resist imposed war or peace.
The deployment of the E-4B reinforces its role as a survivable command center during national emergencies and signals heightened alertness amid escalating Israel-Iran conflict and potential military action.
