The US imposed sanctions on three Chinese firms for providing satellite imagery to Iran, enabling its military strikes on American forces in the Middle East, as Washington ramps up efforts to restrict technological support for Tehran in the conflict.
China’s Meentropy Technology (Hangzhou) Co., The Earth Eye, and Chang Guang Satellite Technology Co. were named by the US in its list of entities and individuals assisting Iran, some of which were based in Belarus and the United Arab Emirates, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in a statement on Friday.
