President of the United States Donald Trump responded to reports that Iran allegedly received satellite images of the base in Jordan from Chinese sources before the attack that killed three American soldiers. Questioned on the topic aboard Air Force One, Trump confirmed that China is spying on the US, stating: "And we also spy on them. That's what we do. In fact, they do what we do."
The information was published by the Wall Street Journal, which reported that Chinese entities allegedly provided Iran with high-resolution satellite images of the Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan before the missile attack carried out by Tehran on July 17.
According to the newspaper, American officials linked the satellite images to the Iranian attack on the Jordanian base, which resulted in the death of three American soldiers. The article mentions that officials described this as evidence of some type of cooperation between China and Iran in the context of the attack.
