U.S. LINKS CHINESE SATELLITE IMAGERY TO IRANIAN STRIKE THAT KILLED THREE TROOPS:
US officials have linked satellite imagery supplied to Iran by Chinese entities to an Iranian attack that killed three American troops at a base in Jordan, The Wall Street Journal reported on Saturday.
Tehran acquired high-resolution images of the installation both before and after the July attack, according to officials familiar with the incident. They described the findings as the strongest evidence yet that Chinese support for Iran during the war has had deadly consequences for American forces.
The officials declined to identify the suppliers and did not accuse the Chinese government of direct involvement.
The July 17 strike hit sleeping quarters at Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in northeastern Jordan, killing three soldiers and wounding four others. It was one of three missile attacks on the installation within 24 hours.

A Chinese surveillance satellite breaking up into little pieces right after US troops were killed with the help of a Chinese satellite is quite the amazing coincidence, now that you mention it. Gray Zone warfare in space, but that's a dark shade of gray. https://t.co/lXXO9WaIWL
