China sends transport planes into Iran

  • At least three Boeing 747 cargo planes departed Chinese cities between June 14-16, 2025, flying toward Iran before disappearing from radar near its airspace amid escalating Israel-Iran conflict.
  • These flights followed a route over northern China into Central Asia and tracked as heading to Luxembourg, but none entered European airspace, fueling speculation about covert support to Iran during Israel's sustained airstrikes.
  • China and Iran maintain a strategic partnership, including military equipment supplies despite international sanctions, with China heavily reliant on Iranian oil, while experts caution China approaches the conflict carefully to avoid US destabilization.
  • Andrea Ghiselli noted that these shipments attract considerable attention due to speculation that China could take actions to support Iran, while Iran’s Supreme Leader asserted that the country would resist any military aggression.
  • The mysterious flights and China’s potential involvement risk intensifying regional tensions and may challenge efforts to stabilize US-China relations, leaving the exact cargo and Beijing's intentions unverified and closely monitored.
