China Provided Iran with U.S. Base Images
Reports revealed that China provided Iran with high-resolution satellite images of a U.S. military base in Jordan. These images helped Tehran target the base in an attack that resulted in the deaths of three U.S. soldiers last July. U.S. officials confirmed that the imagery was a factor in carrying out the assault, while refusing to disclose the identities of the Chinese companies involved or to confirm direct Beijing's involvement. This potential escalation comes ahead of a scheduled summit between the U.S. President and Xi Jinping, amid increasing U.S.-China tensions over China's support for Iran's targeting activities. Washington imposed sanctions on Chinese companies in May for this reason.
