🇺🇸🇨🇳🇮🇷⚡- The US State Department sanctioned The Earth Eye, a Chinese company which had sold a high resolution satellite to Iran last month, which Tehran used to target US assets in the Middle East, the Financial Times reveals.

🇮🇶🇮🇱 - Israeli military sources report that the forward operating base in the Najaf desert, Iraq, was established before the war with Iran even began, and with US knowledge.

The sources report that the entire operation nearly collapsed when an Iraqi shepherd noticed unusual military activity in early March, at the height of the war. The activity was reported to the Iraqi military which dispatched Iraq's Karbala Ops unit to investigate. Israel, to keep the base a secret, engaged with airstrikes and struck the convoy, killing one, and injuring multiple others, including the regiment commander Haider al-Khazai (who's still recovering from his injuries at Karbala al-Kafeel Hospital).

The Iraqi counter terrorism unit however did identify a foreign military base operating in the desert. Local Iraqis reported unidentified military activity during the war at 31.6673207, 42.4396675 (shown in the media).

Interestingly, the Israeli Air Force Commander Tomer Bar, in a letter dated to the 4th of March - the exact same date as the incident involving Iraq's Karbala Ops, wrote the following: "The fighters of the Air Force's special units are currently carrying out extraordinary missions that can ignite the imagination."
