China and Iran maintain a strategic alliance countering U.S. global influence, with Beijing historically supplying Tehran with conventional arms and missile components. Although international sanctions have curbed direct arms transfers since the 2000s, dual-use technologies—civilian goods that can serve military purposes—remain a concern. On Fox News, former Trump National Security Council adviser Robert Greenway suggested Iran could be using the flights to move sensitive materials or “regime valuables” to secure locations. Meanwhile, Israel has intensified its military campaign, striking Iranian missile installations following a deadly missile attack on southern Israel. President Trump, when asked if he would authorize a strike on Iran, responded cryptically: “I may do it, I may not do it.”
