China Denies Supplying Iran Images Of US Military Base In Jordan
Beijing rejected claims that Chinese firms helped Iran with satellite images, as U.S. officials sought evidence and tensions rose before a planned Trump-Xi meeting.
- Beijing rejected on Monday "groundless" reports that Chinese entities supplied Iran with satellite images of the Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan before and after July 17 missile strikes that killed three American soldiers.
- Unnamed American officials cited by The Wall Street Journal did not name specific Chinese entities involved or directly blame Beijing, while Chinese officials refused to acknowledge company involvement when prodded by American counterparts late Friday.
- President Donald Trump sought to downplay the report on Sunday, dismissing spying allegations by saying "They basically do what we do," aiming to preserve stability ahead of Chinese President Xi Jinping's White House visit on September 24.
- Washington previously imposed sanctions in May on three China-based satellite companies for allegedly supporting Iranian military operations, and Trump warned Beijing against supplying weapons to Tehran.
- Asked about selling Chinese-made vehicles in the United States, Trump said he prevented such sales using tariffs, maintaining he manages the relationship with Beijing through a "reasonably well" approach despite tensions.
