A new flashpoint is emerging in the Middle East as China quietly deploys a suspected spy ship near the USS Abraham Lincoln carrier strike group in the Arabian Sea. Labeled a civilian research vessel, the ship is believed to have dual-use intelligence capabilities, raising alarms in Washington.
The move comes as U.S.–Iran tensions surge, with America reinforcing its military presence using F-35C stealth fighters, surveillance drones, and at least 10 warships across the region. Meanwhile, Chinese satellites are publicly revealing sensitive U.S. military deployments — a move analysts warn could indirectly benefit Iran.
As Iran launches drone swarms to monitor U.S. forces and Beijing balances its backing of Tehran while avoiding direct confrontation, fears are growing that the region could slide toward a wider global showdown involving the U.S., China, and Iran.
