The unexpected movement of the E-4B "Nightwatch," President Donald Trump's emergency command aircraft, across the United States has alarmed many citizens. This occured before the U.S. Military struck Iran's nuclear sites.

Despite initial anxiety amplified by the increased friction between the United States and Iran, the Air Force announced that the aircraft's operation had been arranged in advance and bore no relation to the ongoing international tensions, as the Daily Mail reports.

The E-4B, commonly referred to as the "Doomsday plane," was observed traveling between Louisiana and Maryland, from Bossier City to Joint Base Andrews, on Tuesday. Customarily stationed at Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska, this aircraft surfaced from Barksdale Air Force Base. It had earlier embarked from an area near Window Rock, Arizona, illustrating its versatility and operational scope.

The E-4B is crafted to serve as a mobile command post in case of emergencies, especially during nuclear crisis scenarios. Its design includes features to communicate across global distances, with military strategists benefiting from its comprehensive equipment, multi-deck layouts, and long-duration capabilities.

Furthermore, the E-4B is fortified with both thermal and nuclear barriers, crucial for enduring devastating conditions like nuclear explosions.
