Iran used the satellite to monitor major U.S. military sites. Satellite imagery was taken in March prior to drone and missile strikes on the sites.
Iran secretly purchased a spy satellite from China in 2024, which it then used to target U.S. bases.
According to the Financial Times, Earth Eye Co, a Chinese company, built and launched a TEE-01B satellite in 2024. After it was launched into space from China, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' Aerospace Corp purchased the satellite, leaked Iranian military documents show.
Iran used the satellite to monitor major U.S. military sites. Satellite imagery was taken in March prior to drone and missile strikes on the military locations. The sites included Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia. On March 14, President Donald Trump said aircraft at the base were hit in missile strikes.
Trump said Wednesday that China has agreed not to send weapons to Iran, but China has not confirmed the statements.

Let the space explosions begin!
Massive blind spot.
Yuge. An investigation is in order.
Sounds like Iran is morphing into a proxy war with China.
Our Space Force has the Geosynchronous Space Situational Awareness Program (GSSAP) and likely has killer satellites, co-orbital weapons with counterspace capabilities.
Time for some target practice.
Igrc aerospace?
For reference you just remember that in Islam “outer space” starts 6 inches off the ground.
China is helping to KILL our soldiers and airmen. And we just let them keep Most Favored Nation status like it’s nothing.
And they paid for it with money Biden and Kerry gave to Iran.
We need one of those satellite capture ahips like they had in “you only live twice”
And the US and Europe were/are providing Ukraine with satellite intel against Russia.
That’s just the way it goes
Maybe China will sell Iran a nuke next.
They don’t have to get the equipment...even though they are.
Russia is supplying troop positions and ship locations and movements to Iran real time and China is supplying Iran with weapons and defense.

Not really... You can buy photo recon on the *commercial* market now. Buying a Chinese photosat is actually *worse* than buying time on the French or other private sats in terms of results.
Well, time for some ChiCom assets to go splodey dope!!!
Put the Crack Pipe down.
That tech. Plus of Putin actively helping Iran during Epic Fury to target US bases
The US and NATO partners are helping to program coordinates into Ukrainian weapons hitting Russia. And, providing spy satellite information.
OK, then it no longer belongs to China. Shoot it down - what’s Iran going to do, shoot some missiles at us? China won’t do anything, it doesn’t belong to them anymore.
China is an enemy, period. Hopefully, we can gain self-sufficiency so that we do not need them.
