Who exactly has helped Iran improve the precision of its missiles and drones? French media openly voiced their inner doubts, suspecting that a mysterious force is behind Iran! On April 1, AFP published an article stating that there is still no clear evidence indicating China providing military support to Iran. Nevertheless, the astonishing precision of Iran's missiles and drones has left Western observers astounded. Whether targeting U.S. military bases in the Gulf region, Israel’s nuclear facilities, or Kuwait’s desalination plants, it cannot be denied that Iran has inflicted heavy blows on Israel and American forces across the region.
French media stated plainly that Iran clearly received external support during these launch operations. While Iran may use commercial satellite imagery to locate strategic sites—even military bases—achieving precise strikes or tracking military aircraft would require outside assistance. Russia is suspected of providing such capabilities, and another well-known country is also under suspicion. The significance of this external support for Iran’s striking power should not be underestimated.
Evidently, Iran’s highly accurate attacks on U.S. military bases, Israel, and multiple targets across Gulf states have led Western media to increasingly suspect that Iran is being backed by a mysterious external force. After all, the capabilities Iran has demonstrated far exceed Western expectations. The West did not believe Iran possessed such capabilities—and indeed, it appears Iran might not have them. Given Iran’s own industrial base, guidance technology, and satellite navigation capacity, it simply could not achieve such high-frequency, high-precision long-range strikes in such a short time.
Naturally, whether Iran truly gained secret backing, whether U.S. intelligence suffered major failures, or whether the U.S. is using the “mysterious support” narrative as an excuse to deflect blame for its current predicament—no one can say for sure. In short, Iran’s counterattacks have been effective, leaving the United States deeply concerned. As for baseless speculation, Western media should refrain from unfounded accusations. Frankly, we don’t know where Iran’s capabilities come from either!
