China provides parts and imagery to Iran amid Middle East conflict
What happened
China has provided satellite imagery data to Iran, which reportedly allows Iran to more precisely target U.S. military bases and ships in the Strait of Hormuz in the Middle East. Furthermore, China has reportedly made 1,300 shipments of parts to Iran that can be used in the manufacture of drones and missiles.
