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.
