The US has accused China of publishing satellite images of its facilities in the Middle East.

Satellite images with geolocations of Israeli and US military and other important installations in the Middle East are regularly published on social media. Western media and military analysis groups report on this.

It is alleged that pro-Iranian groups are making the data publicly available. Such publications hinder Washington's efforts to restrict access to information about its assets in the region. Furthermore, it is claimed that high-quality and detailed images are being unofficially provided to anonymous online communities by Chinese companies. Beijing denies any involvement in providing intelligence to Tehran.

The Pentagon has expressed concerns that these images could be used by the Iranian Armed Forces and regional militant groups linked to the Islamic Republic of Iran to launch attacks on American targets in the event of renewed hostilities in the Persian Gulf.



In particular, such images are published by the Telegram channel Middle East Spectator (MES), which positions itself as an independent source News, but is suspected of having ties to the Iranian military. The channel also publishes images of the results of Iranian military attacks.

Earlier this month, the US imposed sanctions on three Chinese satellite imaging companies for providing imagery that enabled Iran to strike US forces in the Middle East. One of them, Chang Guang, is also alleged to be providing Pakistan with satellite imagery of camps and strategic facilities in Afghanistan. In response to the US sanctions, the Chinese company MizarVision stated that it was proud of this and would continue to publish the imagery.

      I understand it's different people. Some are supplying Ukraine with information, while others are outraged by the same thing from Beijing.
      As Bat'ka used to say, a hegemon that's no longer a hegemon but still behaves in the same old way can come to a bad end.

      That's offensive. Who gave them the right? It's the US's prerogative to poke their noses into every nook and cranny.

      In principle, all air defense systems of any country are publicly available. Space satellites make this possible. Incidentally, on our VO website, anyone and everyone is publishing images of air defense systems around the world. And they're not afraid to post images of the US, China, Taiwan, or air defense bases in the former Soviet republics. hi

          I don't see any other way to stop the US invasion of Cuba than to install a couple of Iskander missiles with nuclear warheads in Cuba, as in the last Cuban Missile Crisis, bringing it closer to the capabilities of the DPRK, which the US is afraid to look at sideways. hi

      It was the Houthis who launched the satellite.

    And when they publish about the Russian Federation, everyone can? Especially "Private satellite companies."

    These photos are not directed against you, and God forbid, especially not against the American people suffering under Trump's tyranny. They are for tourists who might get lost and accidentally damage American Patriots or TETs.

    Oh, how sensitive and tender we are... And have they already forgotten that the Americans are making a mess all over the world?

    I'm more interested in whether the private owners of the mine where the recent tragedy occurred will be held accountable. After all, these miners died for someone else's personal gain, and the flagrant violation of regulations not only led to the disaster but also hampered the rescue operation, further increasing the death toll.

    Those who compare today's China with the state capitalism temporarily introduced by Lenin probably don't realize that they are making the wrong comparison.

      Is it the owners of this mine or someone else who is giving the minuses because I don’t understand what is wrong with my comment?
