Iran used Chinese spy satellite

The acquisition of the satellite system represents a significant leap in Iran's military intelligence capabilities, allowing it to monitor U.S. assets with unprecedented detail.

Imagery of the Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia was reportedly captured just days before it was targeted.

While China has officially denied providing lethal weapons to Iran, the use of dual-use technology like high-grade satellites highlights the deepening strategic cooperation between the two nations.

U.S. officials are now reassessing regional air defenses as the extent of Iran's space-based surveillance becomes clear.
