Recent US assessments reveal that
geospatial data from Chinese groups has boosted Iran's targeting of US bases
and ships in the Strait of Hormuz. This support contributed to a July attack on
Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan, where three US troops died, with officials
saying Iran lacked such accuracy on its own.
Combined with aid from China and Russia on
missile guidance plus Iran's battlefield experience, the enhancements heighten
regional threats. President Trump told Xi Jinping any such Chinese help is
unacceptable, according to the US Ambassador to China.
