US EditionIs China Flexing Its Intelligence Muscle? Private Firm’s Tracking of US Military Moves Near Iran Draws Scrutiny
MizarVision has increased detailed public posts on US military assets near Iran, using AI and satellite data to showcase expanding Chinese open-source intelligence capabilities, analysts say.
- MizarVision, a commercial intelligence analysis company based in China, has published detailed reports on US military deployments near Iran and increased disclosure frequency in recent weeks.
- Amid expanding commercial satellite networks, MizarVision specialises in AI-driven geographic business intelligence, including vessel identification and change detection, which retired Chinese colonel Yue Gang says `can supplement China’s national intelligence capacities`.
- On Wednesday, MizarVision reported the USS Gerald R. Ford's arrival at Crete and on Sunday said C-17 transport aircraft were still crossing the Atlantic to the Middle East.
- Amid rising tensions, military commentator Song Zhongping said the tracking `demonstrates capability and is advertising`, while former US intelligence official Dennis Wilder questioned the firm's motive.
- Wang, a company representative, said sources included Western and Chinese commercial entities but declined to specify origins, while judging by the satellite ephemeris, these images were sourced from American satellites, not Chinese ones.
