Hind Al Soulia - Riyadh - WASHINGTON — US officials have linked high-resolution satellite imagery supplied by Chinese entities to an Iranian missile strike that killed three American soldiers in Jordan in July, the Wall Street Journal reported Friday.
Citing officials familiar with the matter, the Journal said Iran obtained satellite imagery before and after the July 17 attack on Muwaffaq Salti Air Base, where ballistic missiles struck a housing area, killing three US troops and wounding four others.
The report described the finding as the clearest indication yet that assistance from Chinese entities to Iran during the war has had deadly consequences for US forces.
Washington has not accused the Chinese government of direct involvement, and the identities of the entities that allegedly supplied the imagery were not disclosed, according to the report.
Senior US officials raised the issue with their Chinese counterparts, who denied the allegations and requested evidence. China’s Foreign Ministry accused unnamed parties of attempting to link Beijing to the conflict.
The development comes ahead of a planned Sept. 24 meeting between US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping. The Journal reported that the Trump administration has sought to avoid public tensions with Beijing that could jeopardize the summit.
The United States sanctioned three Chinese companies in May over alleged sales of satellite imagery to Iran.
US officials are also concerned that Chinese-supplied data could be helping Tehran target American warships operating in the region, according to the report.
