How did images of US base in Jordan reach Iran before attack

The "Wall Street Journal" revealed that Iran obtained high-resolution satellite images from Chinese sources of the Al-Muwaffaq Al-Sultawi airbase in Jordan, prior to an attack in July that resulted in the deaths of three American soldiers. These images helped Iran identify American locations and assets in the region, and its targeting capabilities have improved over the summer. The reports did not disclose the identities of the Chinese entities that supplied Iran with the images nor direct involvement of the Chinese government, but American officials consider that these technologies pose a threat to American assets, especially naval forces, as Iran recently launched ballistic missiles at an American aircraft carrier and warships. American concerns remain focused on Chinese support enhancing Iran’s ability to target American assets in the region.
