00:00The alarm in the skies over the Middle East,

00:27as Iran abruptly closed its airspace.

00:31Aircraft were still detected flying toward Iranian territory,

00:35flights linked to China,

00:37landing as tensions with the United States intensify.

00:40With Washington openly weighing its options,

00:43a troubling question emerges.

00:45Is Beijing quietly supplying Tehran ahead of a possible confrontation?

00:51Flight trackers showed Mahan Air aircraft

00:54operating inside Iranian airspace early Thursday,

00:58despite a sudden no-fly zone imposed without explanation.

01:02The presence of these flights immediately fueled speculation,

01:06especially given Iran's escalating standoff with Washington

01:10over its violent crackdown on nationwide protests.

01:14Mahan Air is no ordinary carrier.

01:16The United States designated the airline in 2011

01:20for providing material support to the IRGC codes force,

01:25and again in 2019 for transporting UN-restricted missile

01:29and nuclear-related materials.

01:32Any unusual activity involving the airline draws immediate scrutiny.

01:37While no official confirmation exists,

01:40the timing of the flights, coinciding with Iranian airspace restrictions,

01:43has triggered speculation that China could be moving critical supplies

01:48or equipment into Iran.

01:51Analysts note Beijing has both the capacity

01:53and the strategic interest to quietly bolster Tehran

01:57if U.S. intervention looms.

02:00Iran's airspace closure lasted more than four hours,

02:04forcing international airlines to reroute

02:06around one of the world's most important east-west corridors.

02:10The disruption rippled across global aviation,

02:14underscoring how even brief closures over Iran

02:17can have outsized consequences.

02:20The shutdown revived painful memories.

02:23In 2020, Iranian air defenses mistakenly shot down

02:27Ukraine International Airlines flight PS-752,

02:32killing all 176 on board.

02:35Iran initially denied responsibility,

02:38later admitting the strike.

02:40A reminder of how quickly aviation risks escalate during crises.

02:45The airspace move coincided with heightened alerts

02:48at U.S. bases in the Gulf.

02:50Personnel in Qatar were advised to take precautionary steps,

02:55while the U.S. embassy in Kuwait temporarily halted visits

02:58to several military installations, signaling serious concern.

03:03President Donald Trump added to the uncertainty with cryptic remarks,

03:07claiming executions in Iran had stopped and telling protesters that help is on the way.

03:14He has not ruled out action, keeping Tehran and its allies guessing.

03:19Iran's foreign minister, Abbas Araqchi, struck a calmer tone,

03:23urging negotiations and warning against escalation.

03:26But with secretive flights, closed skies and military alerts,

03:31diplomacy appears to be racing against events.

03:34With Iran's airspace briefly shut, sanctioned airlines airborne,

03:39and China's shadow looming in the background,

03:42the region stands on edge.

03:45Whether these flights signal routine logistics or covert preparation,

03:49one thing is clear.

03:51The path to confrontation is getting dangerously crowded,

03:54even in the air.
