Iran needs Beidou to launch its missiles, but knowing where US targets are is crucial intelligence. I'm not doubting Iranian intelligence capabilities, but it's certain China/Russia are doing a lot there.
Honestly, I think now it might be incorrect to separate the three countries when it comes to intelligence operations. Like, when Mossad, or MI6 does something in the region, you can be sure that the CIA was also involved in some way.
Similarly, I think at this point Russia, Iran, and China, are showing a level of cooperation that makes distinction fuzzy at best.
