Trump dismisses report China entities helped Iran before attack that killed US troops
Trump said China and the United States both conduct espionage as he brushed aside allegations that Chinese entities aided Iran before a strike that killed 3 U.S. troops.
- On Sunday, President Donald Trump dismissed a report that Iran acquired satellite images of a Jordan military base from Chinese entities before a July attack that killed three U.S. troops.
- The Wall Street Journal cited unnamed officials linking Chinese entities to the intelligence, though the report did not allege direct involvement by Beijing, consistent with the administration's strategy to minimize tensions.

- Returning from Ireland, Trump reiterated his positive view of Chinese President Jinping, stating, "I think he's behaved reasonably well, and we behave reasonably well." A leadership meeting is expected September 24.
- Despite Washington's frustration over Beijing's close ties to Tehran, the administration continues efforts to maintain diplomatic stability. China has not yet officially confirmed the September 24 meeting with the United States.
