China Flies Secret Flights into Iran as Mullahs Vow No Peace Talks Without Israeli Ceasefire

Experts are ringing alarm bells as at least five Boeing 747s have been spotted on radar leaving China for Iran over the last week. It could be anything from helping the Middle Eastern country smuggle weapons in, or cargo out, to getting China’s people the heck out of dodge before it starts glowing.

Chinese flights to Iran

These types of flights are routinely used to deliver heavy weaponry, according to Laura Ingraham. It should be noted that both communist China and Russia are solid allies of Iran and have been very quiet during the current conflict with Israel.

As Israel has stepped up its attacks on military and nuclear sites in the country, China started flying flights on June 14th to Iran, according to The Telegraph. The “mystery transport planes” were seen flying westward along northern China before crossing into Kazakhstan, then continuing south through Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan. The flights disappeared from radar as they approached Iran, according to Fox News.

Oddly enough, their flight plans indicated that the planes’ final destination was Luxembourg, but they never crossed into European airspace.

China is in trouble

“I think it’s important to remember what the relationship is, forty-three percent of China’s oil and gas comes from the Middle East, a large volume of that from Iran,” Robert Greenway, who is a director of the Heritage Foundation’s Center for National Defense, told “The Ingraham Angle” on Wednesday night.

He continued: 

It likes to buy sanctioned oil below market value, and that fuels the Chinese economy and also its military ambitions, and so, that’s the central relationship. They’ve been relatively quiet – in fact, extremely quiet – about the current conflict and coming to Iran’s assistance. We also know that a large fire in Bandar-Abbas’s port was Chinese solid propellant for missiles that exploded and created a tremendous amount of damage just about a month ago. I think it’s unlikely to see Chinese arms shipments under the circumstances to Iran. It’s more likely that Iran may be removing material or personnel, or regime valuables, to safe haven in light of the conflict. I think that’s probably the extent to which China is willing to accept the risk associated with the current circumstances.

Warning bells go off over Chinese flights

Gatestone Institute senior fellow Gordon Chang is warning about the flights.

“We know this isn’t good because those planes are turning off their transponders as they approach Iranian airspace. China is sending something it doesn’t want the world to know,” Chang said on “Mornings with Maria” Thursday, according to Fox Business.

“It could be ammunition, could be drones, pretty unlikely about that,” he stated, “but it also could be nuclear weapons. We just don’t know.”

He went on to explain, “Israel targeting Iran, which is China’s proxy – the Iranians don’t think they’re a proxy of anyone, but the Chinese think Iran is a proxy. And China’s been fully supporting Iran’s attack on Israel. So right now, China’s policies in the Middle East are just in tatters.”

Independent investigations would have to occur to definitively determine what was on those flights. Neither China nor Iran will agree to that, so we may never know what was on those planes.

Chang pointed out last week that China is desperate and may get Iran or some other entity to strike out at the US.

Iran refuses zero uranium enrichment

As for Iran, it has flatly stated that it will not stop its uranium enrichment program no matter what. The Islamic regime signaled in talks with European countries on Friday that it is “ready to discuss limitations on its uranium enrichment, but said the prospect of zero enrichment would undoubtedly be rejected, especially while Israel was attacking,” according to The Washington Free Beacon and Reuters.

That declaration will not fly with President Trump, who has put an ultimatum on the table that Iran must cease all uranium enrichment or else. Iran has said it will not meet with Trump until Israel’s bombing campaign ends. In other words, diplomacy is dead.

Trump stated on Friday to reporters that “Israel is doing well, in terms of war, Iran is doing… less well. It’s a little bit hard to get someone to stop. I think it’s very hard to make that request right now. When someone is winning, it’s a little harder to do than when someone is losing.”

While he was at it, the president publicly spanked Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard’s recent claim that Iran was not building nuclear weapons. “She’s wrong,” Trump bluntly said.

Peace through strength

The whole world is now watching Trump to see if he will bomb Iran’s Fordow nuclear site with bunker-buster weaponry. He told the press, “Sometimes you need some toughness to make peace.”

In a statement to the Free Beacon, a State Department official noted, “As the President has repeatedly stated, Iran cannot have nuclear weapons,” the official said. “We will never have peace if Iran continues down this path. That is why the President is demanding Iran end all uranium enrichment as part of any potential diplomatic solution.”

China and Russia go to bat for Iran

Both China and Russia are calling for de-escalation now, according to CNN. The media outlet reported on a phone call that involved Russia’s Vladimir Putin and China’s Xi Jinping, where they slammed Israel’s actions, calling them a breach of the UN Charter and other norms of international law.

Xi said that “major powers” should work to “cool the situation, not the opposite.”

“The international community, especially influential major countries, should uphold a fair position and a responsible attitude to create the necessary conditions for promoting a ceasefire and returning to dialogue and negotiation so as to prevent the regional situation from sliding into the abyss and triggering a greater disaster,” a Chinese editorial published on Friday reads according to Newsweek.

Meanwhile, as both Russia and China defend Iran, Putin is openly declaring that “all of Ukraine is ours.” Indicating that he is ratcheting up the war there, with his eye on further invading Europe.

China also doubled down according to the Associated Press, “China sent 74 warplanes toward Taiwan between late Thursday and early Friday, 61 of which crossed the central line in the Taiwan Strait that unofficially divides the sides, an unusually large number as tensions remained heightened in the region.”

Instead of laying low and backing off as the Middle East heats up, both Russia and China are digging in. The Axis of Evil of Iran, Russia, and China could very well herald in WWIII.

President Trump knows this as the clock ticks down for his decision. He must decide to take out the existential threat of Iran for the good of the world – Iran, Russia, and China want war either way.
