Iran used high-resolution Chinese satellite images of Jordan's Muwaffaq Salti air base for its July attack that killed three US soldiers, US officials told The Wall Street Journal. They did not identify the suppliers or allege direct Beijing involvement; Chinese officials pushed back and demanded proof.
Why it matters
The report points to outside targeting help for Iran just as it resumed missile fire on the same base this week.
