A new report from the Financial Times details that Iran secretly used a Chinese-built spy satellite, the TEE-01B, to gather intelligence on U.S. military bases across the Middle East during the recent war. The satellite provided high-resolution imagery that was used to monitor troop movements and base activities. This intelligence-gathering operation highlights the deepening military-technical cooperation between Iran and China amid heightened regional tensions. The revelation comes as the U.S. maintains a naval blockade on Iran and both nations engage in a war of words.
