Iran used Chinese satellite to target US bases

Leaked Iranian military documents reveal that Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps acquired the Chinese-built TEE-01B spy satellite in late 2024. The satellite was reportedly used to monitor U.S. military positions across the Middle East before and after missile and drone strikes. This has raised significant concerns about satellite-assisted targeting and China's role in providing sensitive dual-use space technology to regional actors. The intelligence suggests a new level of sophistication in Iran's ability to gather battlefield intelligence.
