Multiple reports reveal that Iran secretly acquired a high-resolution Chinese spy satellite in late 2024, dramatically enhancing its ability to monitor and target US military bases across the Middle East.
The satellite, TEE-01B, provided Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) with advanced imaging capabilities, which were reportedly used to guide missile and drone strikes against American positions during recent conflicts. The deal, worth around $37 million, included ongoing ground control services from China. While China denies direct involvement, the revelations have sparked international controversy and raised concerns about Beijing and Moscow's indirect support for Iran in its confrontation with the US.
US lawmakers and security experts warn that such satellite technology transfers pose significant risks to American military operations and regional stability.
