Rumors are circulating online apparently that the reason that the E-6B Mercury "Doomsday Plane" was moved to the ME was this: apparently leaflets were dropped on the city of Qum, one of the holiest sites in Islam, to abandon the city as it's believed that there is a heavily fortified facility near there that bay house nuclear research but because it's so hardened they will need to hit it with a tactical nuke.
I can find nothing that verifies any of this but the likelihood of being able to verify something like this is unlikely but at least wanted to pass it along so people are aware of the possibility.

Maybe, to some in this admin, that's a "may as well use it then" argument. I can only hope not.

(12,162 posts)The E-6B Mercury "Doomsday Plane" being moved into the theater in the ME has been widely reported on for a couple of days.
The other piece about Qum and a nearby facility is the part I can find nothing on but I also clearly stated it was rumors and cannot be verified and I seriously doubt things like that could be verified.
Instagram and BlueSky mostly but it's not like US based MSM sources are going to say stuff like that until after the fact.

(22,889 posts)Its the plane the president uses if the US is hit with a nuclear strike. Its is faster, and more highly equipped military tech-wise than AF1. Its supposed to be a command center/situation room in the air.
People are reading far too much into the location of this plane.
