US Claims China Supplied Iran with Satellite Imagery Before Jordan Attack

The United States claims China provided Iran with high-resolution satellite images of the al-Tanf airbase in Jordan prior to a July missile attack that killed three American service members, escalating tensions between Washington and Beijing.

According to the International Desk of Webangah News Agency, a report by The Wall Street Journal on Friday cited U.S. officials stating that Tehran received advanced satellite imagery of the al-Muwaffaq al-Salti airbase in Jordan before launching a missile attack in July. This attack resulted in the deaths of three American military personnel.

These officials asserted that Washington now directly links the imagery to the attack, deeming it the clearest evidence to date of the deadly consequences of Chinese companies supporting Iran during the ongoing conflict. However, U.S. sources have not indicated Beijing’s direct involvement, and China‘s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has consistently refuted these warnings, stating that “certain entities” are attempting to connect Beijing to the conflict.

These findings have heightened tensions between the two nations ahead of a planned meeting on September 23rd between Donald Trump and Xi Jinping.
