Chinese firms market Iran war intelligence ‘exposing’ U.S. forces: Washington Post

Chinese firms are selling near-real-time intelligence on U.S. troop movements using artificial intelligence and satellite imagery, officials and analysts said.

Summary
The private companies — some with ties to the military — are marketing detailed intelligence on movements of U.S. forces, even as Beijing seeks to keep its distance. As the war in Iran erupted five weeks ago, social media sleuths across Western and Chinese platforms flagged a wave of viral posts detailing equipment at U.S. bases, the movements of American carrier groups and granular breakdowns of how military aircraft were assembling for strikes on Tehran.
