China Satellite Images Reveal U.S. THAAD Deployment Amid Iran Tensions

Описание: Commercial satellite imagery from China has reportedly exposed the deployment of the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system at Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan — a critical U.S. missile defense hub positioned within strategic range of Iran.

The base has steadily evolved into one of Washington’s most vital forward-operating locations in the Middle East, particularly as tensions with Tehran intensify. The timing of the imagery release is drawing attention, coming alongside unverified reports of increased Chinese naval activity near the Persian Gulf — fueling speculation about possible intelligence signaling or coordination dynamics involving Beijing and Tehran.

The development underscores the growing complexity of regional air defense postures and the deepening strategic rivalry shaping the Middle East security landscape.
