On July 17, Iran carried out a missile attack on a US military base in Jordan, killing three soldiers.

According to sources cited by The Wall Street Journal, Iran was able to carry out the attack with the help of, among other things, high-resolution satellite images that its military received from Chinese "actors."

On Monday, China's Foreign Ministry formally dismissed the reports, calling them "groundless accusations."

You know, when they say China is spying on us, I say, "You're right, and we're spying on them too," Trump says.
