China detected signals before Iran strike, monitored US military activity using AI satellite imagery.

New Delhi (The Uttam Hindu): China had already sensed the US-Israeli attack on Iran on February 28th. According to reports, satellite imagery revealed signs of US military preparations before the attack, which quickly spread on social media.

In fact, a Chinese artificial intelligence startup, MizarVision, claims to be providing near-real-time, high-resolution satellite imagery of US military activity in the region. These images clearly show everything from the deployment of US fighter jets to the movements of warships.

According to the report, the images reveal everything from the precise location coordinates of F-22 stealth fighter jets to the detailed layout of the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier's deck. The images also show fighter jets parked on runways and transport planes landing on desert airfields.

Experts and defense analysts believe the images released by MizarVision significantly challenge traditional military secrecy, although the company maintains that its satellite imagery is only made available for commercial use.

US carriers tracked before the operation began

MizarVision claims to have tracked the US aircraft carriers Gerald R. Ford and Abraham Lincoln as they headed toward West Asia before Operation Epic Fury was launched. The company also used flight-tracking software to understand the ships' positions, linking the movements of maritime patrol jets to the carriers' positions.

Several military bases identified by MizraVision were reportedly subsequently targeted by Iranian missile and drone attacks. However, no direct evidence of any classified military data being shared between China and Iran has yet emerged.
