(opens the publisher’s site)US officials told the Wall Street Journal that China supplied Iran high-resolution satellite imagery that helped it strike a US base in Jordan in July, killing three American soldiers.
- US officials said China provided Iran satellite images of the Jordan base that aided a July 17 attack killing three US soldiers.
- Officials declined to identify the Chinese entities that supplied the images and would not confirm whether Beijing was directly involved in the attack.
- Washington imposed sanctions in May on several Chinese companies for providing Iran with space imagery, which US officials said threatened American personnel and allies.
- Chinese officials rejected the US allegations in discussions with American counterparts and demanded evidence of the claims.
