According to reports, on March 26 (local time), U.S. officials disclosed that SMIC had allegedly provided chip manufacturing equipment and related technical training to the Iranian military over the past year. This revelation has sparked inquiries into Beijing's position amid the ongoing tensions between the U.S., Israel, and Iran. However, the veracity of these claims remains uncertain at this juncture. Furthermore, SMIC's 2025 financial report indicates strong operational performance, with annual sales revenue reaching $9.327 billion, marking a year-on-year increase of 16.2%. This continued growth further cements SMIC's status as the world's second-largest dedicated foundry.
