According to reports citing US officials, Iran utilized Chinese satellite images to carry out an attack on an American base in Jordan that resulted in the deaths of three US troops. The incident, which occurred in July, is described as providing some of the clearest evidence of Chinese support for Iran.
The disclosure highlights the intelligence and tactical linkages surrounding the drone or missile strike on the US military installation. While the specific details come from US officials familiar with the incident as reported by the Wall Street Journal, the involvement of foreign commercial or state-linked satellite data underscores the geopolitical dimensions of the regional conflict involving US forces in the Middle East.
