One of America\u2019s \u201cdoomsday planes\u201d was spotted circling above a key Nebraska air force base on Monday \u2014 just hours before President Trump\u2019s deadline for Iran<\/a> to accept his peace deal is set to expire. <\/p>\n

The Boeing\u00a0E-4B Nightwatch<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 which was designed to protect national security officials and keep the government operating in a time of nuclear war \u2014 was spotted by flight trackers above the Offutt Air Force Base, home to the headquarters of the US Strategic Command. <\/p>\n

The jet had taken off from Offutt at 10:17 a.m. EST, circling around the area at least six times before landing back at the base, the Daily Mail reported. <\/a><\/p>\n

The aircraft\u2019s movements are regularly monitored by flight trackers during high tension moments, with a flight last year<\/a> garnering attention just days before the US joined Israel in the 12-day war campaign to bomb Iran\u2019s nuclear facilities. <\/p>\n

Trump has now set a deadline for Tuesday for Iran to agree to his peace plan and open the Strait of Hormuz or the US would destroy the Islamic republic\u2019s power plants and bridges. <\/p>\n
