A cargo flight operated by Cargolux, a Luxembourg-based airline partially owned by a Chinese company, appeared to divert from its scheduled route from China to Luxembourg and instead head toward Iran, prompting speculation about a possible air bridge between Beijing and Tehran amid heightened tensions in the Middle East.

Flight CV9736, operated by Cargolux Airlines International, departed Zhengzhou, China, on June 15 with Luxembourg as its stated destination, according to data from Flightradar24. However, flight-tracking records indicate that the aircraft veered sharply toward Iranian airspace before disappearing from public radar after switching off its transponder over Turkmenistan, a country that borders Iran and is considered a close ally of Tehran.
