Summary
Trump said China “spies on us” and that the U.S. spies on China too after a report said Chinese entities gave Iran high-resolution satellite imagery before the July 17 strike on a Jordan base.
The Wall Street Journal said U.S. officials linked that imagery to Iran’s missile attack on Muwaffaq Salti Air Base, where three U.S. troops were killed.
U.S. officials did not identify the Chinese entities involved and did not accuse Beijing directly, though they called it the clearest evidence yet that Chinese support for Iran had deadly consequences for American forces.
Xi Jinping is scheduled to visit Washington on Sept. 24 for a summit with Trump, who said the Chinese leader has “behaved reasonably well” and did not signal a confrontation over the report.
