Despite heavy sanctions and recent military setbacks, Iran has successfully targeted at least 16 U.S. installations across eight countries in the Middle East as of May 2026, causing damage that some officials describe as unprecedented. The primary driver of Iran's increased precision was the secret acquisition of the Chinese TE01B satellite in 2024.
