U.S., Germany Deliver 34 Military Flights to Israel Amid Iran Conflict

Amid escalating hostilities between Israel and Iran, Israel has received 14 military cargo planes loaded with equipment and armaments from the U.S. and Germany to support its military operations, reinforcing its operational readiness. These deliveries follow Israeli airstrikes on Iranian military and nuclear targets, which have prompted retaliatory missile attacks from Iran, resulting in significant casualties on both sides. Concurrently, the U.S. has deployed at least 20 heavy-lift military transport aircraft to the Middle East, carrying air-defense systems, munitions, and personnel to potentially support Israel, though critics warn this could escalate the conflict. Germany has also evacuated its citizens directly from Israel using military planes, marking the first such direct evacuation amid the tensions. Meanwhile, mysterious Boeing 747 cargo flights from China to Iran have raised concerns about possible covert support to Iran amid the conflict, with experts divided on the flights' true nature. These developments highlight an intensifying regional conflict with significant international military involvement and geopolitical implications.
