Embassy Spokesperson on UK Media Report Claiming Iran Used Chinese Satellite to Monitor US Bases in the Middle East

2026-04-17 03:15

Question: The Financial Times reported that during the recent conflict, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps used a "spy satellite" built and launched by a Chinese company to monitor US military bases and key civilian infrastructure in the Middle East. What's your comment?

Embassy spokesperson: The Chinese Foreign Ministry has already responded to a related question. I want to reiterate that the report is not true. This is a war that should not have happened in the first place, and its origins are clear to all. China firmly opposes attempts by some to fabricate rumours and link China to the conflict.
