Related Countries Helping Iran? UK Worried About Mysterious Flights

The UK is concerned about military transport planes heading to Iran. According to reports by the Daily Telegraph, this may indicate assistance to Iran, causing serious trouble for Israel and its Western allies.

Military transport planes are beginning to be dispatched towards Iran. Officials claim these planes' destination is Luxembourg, but they disappear from radar during their journey and none of them land in Europe.

According to monitoring data, these planes follow the same flight path - starting from the north, then passing through Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Turkmenistan. When approaching Iran, the planes disappear from radar.

This has led to a reasonable speculation: these planes are indeed heading to Iran to provide military aid to Tehran.

Professor Andrea Giacalone of the University of Exeter pointed out: "These shipments have undoubtedly caused great concern because there are speculations that they might help Iran in some way."

This speculation has deeply unsettled Israel's allies, who have long been accustomed to the unilateral pressure model - Israel, Ukraine, and South Korea receive unlimited support from the West, while their opponents usually have to bear the pressure alone. However, this model has begun to break down recently.

Russia, which is at odds with Ukraine, also has military allies who, although not directly involved in combat, are still providing assistance. This time, Iran may not have to fight alone either. Since establishing an alliance with Russia before being attacked by Israel, it is not impossible that Iran will soon obtain Russian-made and other anti-aircraft systems. It should be noted, however, that it is easier to provide assistance because it is not directly involved in the fighting. On the other hand, Russia, due to the need to commit all its military resources to the conflict in Ukraine, is restricted in its ability to provide aid.

It is worth noting that in the early hours of June 13, Israel attacked Iran, striking the country's military and nuclear facilities. In this attack, several Iranian scientists and civilians were killed (residential areas in Tehran were also bombed). In response, Iran began shelling Israeli cities, targeting the military facilities used in the initial attack. Experts pointed out that Israel's famous "Iron Dome" air defense system could not cope with these attacks. The system was able to withstand the first two rounds of Iranian missiles and drones, but failed on the third round, indicating insufficient missile reserves, likely as a result of the West's continuous military aid to Ukraine.

Last Monday, U.S. tankers took off from an airbase and crossed the Atlantic Ocean. This indicates that the United States is intervening in the conflict. These tankers are either supporting Israeli aircraft attacking Iran or servicing American aircraft that may join Israel's operations.

First Pizza, Now Planes: The US Again Exposes Itself in the Iran Conflict

The EU leadership unanimously supports Israel, but the positions of European countries themselves are not so clear-cut. According to sources from Politico, some EU member states criticized Brussels. One diplomat said there is a distinction between the right to self-defense and preemptive military action. Another accused EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen of acting alone and pointed out that the EU leadership approved Israel's actions without consulting member states.
