BREAKING NEWS Trump's 'Doomsday Plane' makes unusual trip as Iran war fears escalate
President Donald Trump 's emergency command aircraft was caught making a mysterious flight from Louisiana to a military base in Maryland on Tuesday. The Boeing E-4 'Nightwatch', also known as the 'Doomsday plane,' serves as a flying command post for key officials during times of crisis, particularly designed to survive a nuclear attack and coordinate military actions. The craft took off from Shreveport at 5:56pm ET, traveled along the coast, looped around the border of Virginia and North Carolina, before landing at Joint Base Andrews at 10:01pm. The flight lasted over four hours, sparking speculation online about its purpose. Some observers believe the mission may be linked to increased presidential security amid rising fears of nuclear escalation in the Middle East. Tensions have surged following reports that Trump is prepared to support Israel 's military efforts against Iran, demanding Tehran's 'unconditional surrender.' At least 224 people have been killed in Iran since Israel launched a bombing campaign last week, aiming to disrupt the country's nuclear ambitions. This is a developing story... More updates to come.

Angela Rayner does not rule out following US into war in Middle East
Standing in for the Prime Minister as he attends the G7 Summit in Canada, Rayner was faced with questions in the Commons over the UK Government's stance on following president Donald Trump into war with Israel against Iran if he was to launch strikes. Trump has demanded 'unconditional surrender' and has warned Iranian leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei that the US knows where he is but has no plans to kill him, 'at least not for now'. READ MORE: Donald Trump shares fawning message from extremist US ambassador to Israel Trump initially distanced himself from Israel's surprise attack on Friday that triggered the conflict, but in recent days has hinted at greater American involvement, saying he wants something 'much bigger' than a ceasefire. The US has also sent more warplanes to the region. Deputy leader of the Liberal Democrats, Daisy Cooper, said at PMQs: "In 2003, we Liberal Democrats were incredibly proud to lead the case against the Iraq war. "A war in which the UK blindly followed the US, in a move that was not back by the United Nations. "In light of reports that president Trump is seriously considering joining the war between Israel and Iran, launching a US strike against Iran's nuclear facilities, can the Deputy Prime Minister confirm that if president Trump does do this that today's Labour Government will not blindly follow the US into war again?" Rayner responded with: "The one thing I will say is that we agree with president Trump, that Iran must never have nuclear weapons. "But we've been consistent in urging Iran to engage with the diplomatic process and work with the United States, and we continue to support that diplomatic efforts." Earlier at the G7 Summit, Starmer had insisted Trump was interested in de-escalation in the Middle East, saying 'nothing' he had heard from the president suggested Washington was poised to get involved. In a statement on Monday, before Trump's departure, leaders reiterated their 'commitment to peace and stability' but stopped short of calling for a truce between Israel and Iran. British Typhoon fighter jets have also been deployed to the region, which Defence Secretary John Healey said on Tuesday was 'part of the moves to reinforce de-escalation in the region, to reinforce security in the region, and may also be used to help support our allies'.

2,000 more National Guard troops on duty in L.A. as legal battle over deployment continues
The United States government will activate an extra 2,000 National Guard troops in Los Angeles, the military confirmed in a statement Tuesday night, as a legal battle continues over the deployment. Protests against federal immigration policies that exploded in Los Angeles and across the country in recent weeks have since died down, and a nighttime curfew has been lifted as businesses return to normality. Nevertheless, the U.S. Northern Command said the reinforcements were needed to "support the protection of federal functions, personnel, and property in the greater Los Angeles area." The 2,000 troops are deployed at the direction of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, using Title 10, which allows the president to call in the National Guard when the country is at risk of invasion or rebellion. That means at least 4,100 National Guard troops and 700 Marines have been deployed to the streets of L.A. after 2,100 were sent there on June 9. Tuesday's statement confirms a statement from last Monday on the troop increase. The soldiers cannot participate in civilian policing, leading city leaders to attack the deployments as political theater. "The soldiers are completing training on de-escalation, crowd control, and use of the standing rules for the use of force in advance of joining the federal protection mission," the military statement said. Gov. Gavin Newsom condemned the move and said the troops would be "twiddling their thumbs." "This isn't a new deployment — it's the same group of soldiers who have been diverted from critical wildfire work and work at the border, now twiddling their thumbs for Donald Trump's political theater," Diana Crofts-Pelayo, a spokesperson from Newsom's office, said. Newsom said last week that the deployment of an extra 2,000 personnel would be "reckless, pointless and disrespectful to our troops." L.A. Mayor Karen Bass has called the deployment a "chaotic escalation." The confirmation of the extra personnel came hours after the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals heard arguments on whether the federal government can deploy troops to American cities, or should turn over their command to Californian officials. The court heard an appeal and ruled last week that President Donald Trump can retain command of the troops, pausing a ruling from District Court Judge Charles Breyer that said the deployment was unlawful. Tuesday's hearing considered whether the most recent order can stand as the case proceeds through the courts. The three-judge panel seemed unlikely to be interested in lifting the pause that was imposed by the Appeals Court. That court is expected to make a decision in the coming days, ahead of a Friday hearing before Judge Charles Breyer in San Francisco federal court. The Appeals Court's decision — and any potential Supreme Court involvement — could have huge ramifications for the political executive's powers and activities in Washington and whether troops can be sent to other cities.
