Cargo planes from China have flown close to Iran, sparking concerns that Beijing could offer military support to Tehran in the context of its conflict with Israel.

Three Boeing 747 cargo planes from China have been spotted flying towards Iran, fueling fears that Beijing could support Tehran in its conflict with Israel. These aircraft are known to carry military equipment, including anti-aircraft missile systems. Although Cargolux, the company that operates them, says they have not used Iranian airspace, experts suggest the deliveries could be linked to China's intentions to help Iran. Amid the international tensions, President Xi Jinping has expressed concern about escalating conflict.
