US investigators are probing a possible Chinese satellite imagery link to the deadly Iranian missile strike on Muwaffaq Al-Salti Air Base in Jordan that killed three American service members and wounded several others. The investigation centres on reports that Iran obtained high-resolution satellite imagery of the Jordanian military base before the July 17 attack, potentially giving Tehran detailed information about the location and layout of US forces and military assets at the site. Questions are also being raised over imagery allegedly obtained after the strike, which could have allowed Iranian authorities to assess the damage caused by the attack. The emergence of video from Al-Salti Air Base within hours of the strike has further intensified scrutiny over how quickly Iran was able to obtain information from the target. Three US troops were killed and four others wounded in the missile attack, with multiple American personnel reportedly requiring medical evacuation or treatment following the strike.

US President Donald Trump has announced the declassification of intelligence documents that he says reveal major vulnerabilities in the US election system. Speaking from the White House, Trump alleged that China obtained data linked to 220 million American voters, including names, addresses, phone numbers and political affiliations. Trump also repeated his claim that the 2020 US presidential election was stolen, while directing the FBI and the Director of National Intelligence to investigate the allegations. He said future US elections remain vulnerable without major reforms.
