Several mysterious cargo flights from China have sparked concerns of covert support for Iran amid escalating conflict with Israel.<\/p>\n
According to\u00a0The Telegraph<\/em>, at least three Boeing 747 freighters\u2014commonly used for transporting military equipment\u2014<\/p>\n departed Chinese cities on consecutive days beginning Saturday, shortly after Israel conducted airstrikes on Iran.<\/p>\n The aircraft were tracked via public flight monitoring tools as they flew west through Central Asia, before disappearing from radar near Iranian airspace.<\/p>\n Though listed as en route to Luxembourg, none of the planes continued toward Europe. Cargolux, the Luxembourg-based operator, confirmed the aircraft did not enter Iranian airspace but declined to reveal what was onboard.<\/p>\n This ambiguity has led experts to speculate about potential Chinese involvement. \u201cThese cargos cannot but generate a lot of interest because of the expectation that China might do something to help Iran,\u201d said Andrea Ghiselli, a Middle East-China relations expert.<\/p>\n China and Iran maintain a strategic alliance countering U.S. global influence, with Beijing historically supplying Tehran with conventional arms and missile components. Although international sanctions have curbed<\/p>\n direct arms transfers since the 2000s, dual-use technologies\u2014civilian goods that can serve military purposes\u2014remain a concern. On Fox News, former Trump<\/p>\n National Security Council adviser Robert Greenway suggested Iran could be using the flights to move sensitive materials or \u201cregime valuables\u201d to secure locations. Meanwhile,<\/p>\n Israel has intensified its military campaign, striking Iranian missile installations following a deadly missile attack on southern Israel.<\/p>\n President Trump, when asked if he would authorize a strike on Iran, responded cryptically: \u201cI may do it, I may not do it.\u201d<\/p>\n
