Chinese Foreign Ministry denies sending images to Iran before the attack on the US base

The accusations of transmitting satellite images to Iran to attack the US military are groundless. This was announced on September 13 by Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun at a press conference.

"We strongly oppose unfounded suspicions and accusations made without evidence," he said.

According to Guo Jiakun, China strictly complies with international obligations and opposes unfounded accusations. Earlier, statements were made in the United States about the possible involvement of China.

The Wall Street Journal newspaper on September 12 stated that Iran allegedly received high-resolution satellite images from Chinese-affiliated structures before the missile attack on the American "Muwaffaq Salti" airbase in Jordan. According to the newspaper, Tehran had images of the object both before and after the July 17 strike. As a result of the attack, three American soldiers were killed and four others were injured.

The Washington Post newspaper noted on September 1 that US plans to destroy Iran's economy, designed to force Tehran to make concessions, may fail due to China's unwillingness to join the announced measures. At the same time, the key element of the success of the measures announced by the United States is the position of China, the main buyer of Iranian oil.
