China is said to have tightened its strategic partnership with Iran after a Mossad operation exposed deep vulnerabilities in Tehran’s defenses, treating the episode as a warning about modern covert warfare and cyber‑espionage. Beijing is reportedly helping Iran harden its military and intelligence infrastructure with Chinese surveillance satellites, cyber‑security support, BeiDou navigation, advanced radar and air‑defense systems, and broader efforts through the Shanghai Cooperation Organization to coordinate against perceived Israeli and Western sabotage, while also backing Iran diplomatically and condemning the use of force.
