Several Boeing 747s have been spotted on radar leaving China for Iran over the last week, according to reports, sparking concerns that the CCP is helping the Middle Eastern nation transport cargo or people out of the country as Israel continues to strike the country’s nuclear facilities.
Starting on June 14th, FlightRadar24 shows that at least five flights traveled from China to Iran, and The Telegraph reported that the "mystery transport planes" had flown westward along northern China before crossing into Kazakhstan, south through Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan, and then fell off radar as they approached Iran.
Additionally, the report indicated that the flights had a final destination of Luxembourg but don’t appear to have ever crossed into European airspace.
Some experts have speculated that these types of planes are typically used for transport and could be evidence of China aiding its longtime ally Iran during the conflict with Israel, although Fox News Digital has not independently confirmed the nature of the flights.

the CHICOMS need Iran’s oil. not surprising.
They are getting all the Persian rugs out for sale on Temu.
Anyone remember the sudden appearance of Russian columns transporting stuff from Iraq into Syria?
The rulers are leaving and taking everything not nailed down.
In other words, looting.
I think the real news here is that Luxembourg has an airport.
Yep. CCP's Belt & Roads Initiative.
Israel needs to have some accidents with these planes. Mistakes happen in war, they can apologize the Chinese.
It could be a counter-stealth radar system with the purpose being a test of its effectiveness against low-observable targets.
These trackers are probably reporting transponder information rather that the primary radar returns, so the Chinese pilots are turning off their transponders when they get close to Iran.
Rescue them ccp engineers.
Chicoms have a lot of people in Iran helping them.
Get the ones still alive out.
Bring what they can to help Mullahs attack US and Israel.
Actually a very famous airport. Icelandic Airlines flew from JFK to Iceland and then to Luxembourg at fares 50-60% less than the common carriers. Luxembourg did not participate with the international agreements that regulated fares, level of service etc. Millions of college students flew into Luxembourg in the 1960s.
A Chinese coup?
“FlightRadar24” and similar websites like “FlightAware” use “ADS-B” data not radar or transponder data (transponder data/interrogation is a subset of radar signals). The military routinely turns off their ADS-B if on a mission (and if equipped, a lot of military aircraft are not equipped with ADS-B yet). Chinese civilian 747’s could turn off their ADS-B, but the FAA in US airspace doesn’t like that.

My guess is re-arming Iran with North Korean drones.
They’re getting their people out just in case Trump has to end this thing in Trump fashion.
I do. Believed to have been their weapons of mass destruction.
I thought the first reports were that the chicom aircraft were cargo planes, so air defense systems made sense. Since they can’t pack air defense systems in 747s, the million $$ question:
Absent capitulation or a coup, what is the one thing Iran needs to turn this conflict on its head?
The answer could be very quickly finalized with personnel & equipment ferried aboard those aircraft.
[tin hat off]
Israel should close all Iranian airspace.
