US media: Several mysterious planes flying from China to Iran? Experts respond "there is no need to make a fuss". According to a report by Fox News' official website on June 20, it was reported that in the past week, several Boeing 747 aircraft were found leaving China for Iran on radar. This has raised concerns: while Israel continues to strike Iran's nuclear facilities, is China assisting this Middle Eastern country in transporting goods or personnel out of Iran? The report said that since June 14th, the flight tracking website 24-hour FlightRadar24 shows that at least five flights have traveled from China to Iran. According to The Daily Telegraph, these "mysterious transport planes" flew westward along northern China before entering Kazakhstan, south through Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan, and then disappeared from radar as they approached Iran. The report also said that in addition, these flights are reportedly destined for Luxembourg, but seem never to enter European airspace. Some experts speculate that this type of aircraft is usually used for transportation, "which may be evidence of China aiding its long-time ally Iran in the current conflict with Israel", although Fox News Digital Channel has not independently verified the nature of these flights yet. Robert Greenway, director of the Center for Defense Studies at the Heritage Foundation, stated on Wednesday evening's "The Ingraham Angle" (a talk show hosted by Fox News - note by the translator) program: "I think it's important to remember what kind of relationship this is: 43% of China's oil and gas comes from the Middle East, much of which comes from Iran." "(China) likes to buy sanctioned Iranian oil at below-market prices, which not only powers China's economy but also fuels its military ambitions; this is the core relationship. They have been relatively silent about the current conflict and providing aid to Iran - in fact, extremely silent. We also know that a month ago, a fire at Port Abbas was caused by an explosion of solid rocket fuel from Chinese missiles, causing significant damage. I don't think we will see China shipping weapons to Iran in this situation. It's more likely that given the current conflict, Iran might move materials, personnel, or regime valuables to safe havens. I think this may be the limit of the risks China is willing to accept in the current situation," Greenway said. The report said that in 2021, Fox News reported that Tehran and Beijing signed a 25-year cooperation agreement in a grand ceremony in Iran's capital. Mohammad Marandi, a professor at the University of Tehran who is closely related to the Iranian regime, told Fox News that this goes far beyond just being written on paper. "This strategic partnership is crucial because it enables Iran and China to outline a more productive roadmap for their long-term relationship," he said. "It's also a signal to the United States. The more the US tries to isolate Iran and China, the more it will push countries like Iran and China closer together." The report said that some people expressed doubts about these flights, including Tuvia Gering, a researcher at the Atlantic Council, who posted on X, telling him that these flights "are nothing to write home about." Gering wrote that cargo flights regularly depart from several locations in China to Europe operated by a freight company based in Luxembourg, and stop over in Turkmenistan (only dozens of kilometers from the Iranian border). He said, "Some flight tracking websites lose tracking signals just before the planes land and continue to display a predicted flight path that seems to enter Iranian airspace. These websites will clearly indicate that this is an estimated path; checking the aircraft tail numbers shows that these planes will take off again from Turkmenistan hours later, and reviewing the flight history of these routes shows that they always land in Ashgabat (the capital of Turkmenistan - translated note), and do not continue to fly to Iran. All of this has not even considered the obvious logic that a major European freight company is highly unlikely to act as a channel for China to transfer its super-advanced, top-secret strategic weapons to Iran." The original title of the report is "Mystery flights from China to Iran raise questions amid Israel conflict".
