🇦🇪 🇮🇱 🇬🇷 ⚡️ — Israel refuses to transfer source code in a $3.5 billion air defense deal

Moshe Patel, head of the Israeli Missile Defense Organization, confirmed that the core source code for the command and control system of an air defense system valued at $3.5 billion will not be shared with Greece. This exclusion was part of the licensing agreement signed in August, marking Israel's largest arms export deal to date.

🔴 The withholding of the source code raises concerns about the independence of the Greek military, as local technicians need access to maintain and update the system independently.

🔴 The Israeli Ministry of Defense stated it would develop a "Greek source code" under exclusive Greek control. This is the first deal of its kind where Israel provides Greece with a comprehensive defense system against threats ranging from drones to ballistic missiles, with plans to expand exports to competing countries like the United Arab Emirates.

🇺🇸 ❌ 🇮🇷 🇨🇳 🇯🇴 ⁉️ — Chinese satellite images allegedly aided Iran in targeting; U.S. accounts of the deadly attack on Al-Azraq base

According to the New York Post, citing the Wall Street Journal, U.S. officials claim that Iran received high-resolution satellite images from "Chinese entities" before the July 17, 2026, missile attack on the "Muwaffaq Salti" (Al-Azraq) airbase in Jordan. Washington alleges that these images were linked to an attack that resulted in the deaths of three American soldiers and injuries to four others; additional satellite images were reportedly provided to Iran after the attack.

🔴 U.S. officials have not disclosed the names of the Chinese companies or entities involved and have not directly accused the Chinese government of participating in the attack. The report also notes previous reports on the IRGC's access to Chinese satellite services and ground stations, but it remains unclear if the same entities were involved in providing images related to the Al-Azraq base. Chinese officials have demanded evidence in response to these claims.
