Just a day after Israel launched its offensive against Iran last Friday, a Chinese cargo plane apparently diverted from its flight plan to Luxembourg and appeared to fly into Iranian airspace before falling off the radar, with two more Chinese cargo planes taking the same flight path over the next two days.
