This Wednesday, the Chinese Foreign Ministry denied a report stating that Iran is using a Chinese-made spy satellite to attack U.S. military bases with missiles and drones. The information comes from the Financial Times, with Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps receiving control of the satellite known as TEE-01B in
late 2024.The British newspaper report is very difficult for China to refute, as it is based on leaked Iranian military documents that clearly showed the regime in possession of that satellite. The leaked files include “coordinate lists, satellite images and orbital analysis”, which showed the Chinese aircraft spying on Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia, Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan, the Fifth Fleet Naval Base in Bahrain and Erbil airport
in Iraq.The Iranian guard attacked all these places after the Chinese satellite monitored them, and it became known that five American refueling planes housed at the Saudi Arabian base were damaged in one of these attacks. The satellite also collected intelligence for Iran at two U.S. air bases in Kuwait, another in Djibouti and an airport in Oman. Surveillance data was also collected on civil infrastructure in the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain
