The US government has linked high-resolution satellite imagery provided by Chinese entities to an Iranian ballistic missile strike that killed three American soldiers at Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan on July 17, according to a Wall Street Journal report. US officials said Washington had previously warned Beijing about Chinese companies allegedly providing targeting data to Iran. China has rejected the concerns and said its assistance to Tehran complies with international law. The findings could add tension ahead of a planned meeting between US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping. Experts said the satellite imagery was likely part of Iran’s wider intelligence operation. (PC: NDTV)
