Trump Downplays Report That Chinese Firms Gave Iran US Base Imagery
US President Donald Trump has downplayed a report that Chinese entities supplied Iran with satellite imagery of a US military base in Jordan before a missile strike in July. The attack on Muwaffaq Salti Air Base, which hosts US forces, reportedly killed three American soldiers. A report citing unnamed US officials said Chinese entities provided the imagery, but it did not allege direct involvement by the Chinese government. Trump said intelligence gathering between major powers was routine and did not say whether he would raise the matter with Chinese President Xi Jinping. The comments come amid US concerns over China’s relationship with Iran, including alleged links between Chinese satellite companies and Iranian military entities.
