Hu Bo, Director of SCSPI and Research Professor and Director of the Center for Maritime Strategy Studies, Peking University (and a longtime friend of our newsletters!) tells me he is “100% sure” these recent images released by MizarVision on current US-Iran military posture originated from U.S. and European satellites, not Chinese ones.

Hu says his judgment can be confirmed by the satellite ephemeris, which SCSPI mentioned in its tweet.
