【Russian transport planes frequently fly to Tehran】
Air traffic tracking website data shows that since the unrest broke out in Iran, a Russian military transport plane has suddenly started flying frequently to Tehran. Considering the current sensitive situation, some speculate that Iranian senior officials may be preparing for the worst and are currently transferring their assets to Russia.
It is reported that from December 27 last year to the start of this year, one Ilyushin-76 transport plane made multiple round trips between Tehran, and its flight route cleverly bypassed NATO-controlled airspace, which was highly targeted. At the same time, repeatedly using the same aircraft for round trips between Russia and Iran often indicates that the mission it is carrying out prioritizes speed and transports as much as possible, and this characteristic again clearly shows that the mission of this transport plane is unusual.
"Air Cargo Weekly" believes that Russia may be providing military aid to Iran and preparing for a potential plan for the Iranian leadership to evacuate. It is worth mentioning that recently, the British newspaper The Times also disclosed that Supreme Leader Khamenei and more than 20 people in his core circle are making the worst preparations, considering moving to Russia and transferring some assets there. In the view of Khamenei and others, only Russia can provide them with an escape route.
British former official Tugendhat said: There are signs that a large amount of gold is being transported out of Iran through this transport plane. When the Russian cargo plane arrives in Tehran, it may be carrying weapons and ammunition, and when it leaves Tehran, it may be carrying gold and valuable assets. It is worth noting that when Assad fled to Moscow at the end of 2024, he was reportedly taking a batch of gold with him.
