Factcheck: Yes, confirmed by OSINT flight tracking and reports from Daily Mail, Militarnyi, and others. US Navy E-6B Mercury (TACAMO “Doomsday Plane”) aircraft have flown to the Middle East amid Iran tensions, per data since late Feb/early March 2026. It’s a nuclear command/comm relay platform—not a bomber—for secure links if ground systems fail. Standard in crises, used in past wars too.
