Iran used Chinese spy satellite to attack US bases in Gulf: Report

Iran's Revolutionary Guard utilized a sophisticated Chinese spy satellite to help target US military bases across the Middle East for missile and drone strikes. Acquired in late 2024 for roughly $36.6 million, the TEE-01B satellite provided high-resolution imagery that significantly enhanced Iran's surveillance capabilities. The technology was used to monitor key American facilities in Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Bahrain, and Iraq before and after they were attacked. This advanced capability, far superior to Iran's previous systems, helps explain the precision of recent strikes and signals a deepening military partnership between Tehran and Beijing.
