00:10China is closely monitoring U.S. military movements and strikes in the Iran War from
00:17space. Reports suggest Beijing is using its Jilin-1 satellite constellation to
00:24track American bases, aircraft deployments, and missile launches across the Middle East.
00:30The surveillance intensified after the United States and Israel launched Operation Epic Fury
00:36on February 28, 2026, targeting Iranian military facilities, nuclear sites, and Allied forces.
00:45Since then, Washington has built up a massive military presence in the region, deploying
00:50aircraft carriers, long-range bombers, air defense systems, and surveillance aircraft.
00:57But these movements may not be hidden. Analysts say China's satellite network has been repeatedly
01:03observing U.S. military activity, capturing high-resolution imagery of bases, aircraft movements, and naval
01:11operations. The Jilin-1 satellite network, operated by Changguang Satellite Technology, is one of
01:19the largest commercial Earth observation constellations in the world. First launched in 2015, the system
01:26has rapidly expanded. By 2026, estimates suggest more than 100 satellites, with some reports claiming
01:34over 300 are part of the network, allowing frequent monitoring of almost any location on Earth.
01:41Orbiting about 300 miles above the planet, these satellites can capture detailed images and video
01:48of military activity. That means they can observe U.S. aircraft preparing for missions, munitions being
01:56loaded, bombers taking off, and tankers refueling aircraft in mid-air. Satellite images released by
02:03Chinese-linked firms have already shown U.S. military aircraft and helicopters at major regional bases,
02:11including installations used for operations against Iran. Some reports say the imagery also captured KC-135
02:20refueling aircraft, C-130 transports, and attack helicopters operating from bases such as Al-Udayd in Qatar.
02:29Artificial intelligence tools are then used to analyze this data, identifying flight paths, refueling
02:36cycles, missile trajectories, and air defense responses. Experts say this allows China to build a large digital
02:44database of U.S. military tactics and operational patterns. Some reports also claim that China could be
02:52sharing certain satellite insights with Iran, helping Tehran track U.S. bases, ships, and aircraft.
03:00Iran has already integrated China's Beidou satellite navigation system into some of its missiles and drones,
03:07which could help them operate even under electronic interference. China's monitoring may also extend beyond satellites.
03:15military analysts warn that every American strike, deployment, and response in the war could now be recorded and studied from
03:24space.
03:25Chinese officials, however, deny providing direct military assistance to Iran. They say the imagery comes from commercial satellite systems used
03:35for civilian and research purposes.
