US officials say imagery of Jordan air base was provided ahead of and after #attack that #killed 3 troops; Beijing rejects #allegation and demands #Washington provide #evidence
Chinese entities supplied Iran with high-quality #satellite imagery of a US Air Force base in Jordan both before and after Tehran launched a deadly #BallisticMissile attack on the facility on July 17, The Wall Street Journal reported Saturday, citing US officials familiar with the matter.
The officials, who declined to identify the Chinese entities, said Washington had linked the satellite imagery to the strike, providing what they described as the clearest evidence yet that Chinese support for Tehran during the war had contributed to the #deaths of US troops. They stopped short, however, of accusing Beijing of directly participating in the attack, according to the Journal.

US Vice President JD Vance reportedly sought direct insight from American generals on the war against Iran, seeking to bypass the #Pentagon amid his skepticism of the extended #military conflict.
A New York Times report says the VP was seeking direct intel from military commander on “objectives, tactics, casualty estimates, what the Iranians would do in the Strait of Hormuz.”
According to the report — citing “more than half a dozen” current and former officials, the commanders warned Vance about severely depleted #military stockpiles, as well as the Iranian regime’s willingness to dig in for a major and drawn-out fight.
The newspaper says that the “sobering private #assessments” received by Vance were often quite different from the often #boastful public #rhetoric coming from President Donald Trump.

US #President Donald Trump says he has no regrets for how the Iran #conflict has played out and would conduct it exactly how he did if given the chance for a do-over.
“I don’t #believe in the word ‘regret,’” he tells Fox #News in an interview.
“You can always question yourself a little bit, but if I had to do it again, I would do exactly as I did. I took out their nuclear capability,” Trump says.
The US did not target Iran’s #nuclear sites in the war it launched with #Israel in February. Trump has claimed Iran’s nuclear program was already completely destroyed in US strikes the previous year.
