The Wall Street Journal reported that according to US officials, Iran acquired high-resolution intelligence satellite imagery from Chinese companies before and after a ballistic missile strike on Al-Tanf military base in Jordan. The attack killed three US military personnel and represents a significant escalation in regional tensions.

The intelligence sharing arrangement suggests deepening coordination between Tehran and Beijing ahead of planned high-level talks between US and Chinese leadership. US officials cited in the report indicate growing concerns about technological and intelligence collaboration between the two powers that could impact American military operations in the region.

The incident highlights escalating US-China tensions amid broader Middle East instability and comes as diplomatic engagement between Washington and Beijing was scheduled to occur.
