A Democratic U.S. senator says President Donald Trump should press Chinese President Xi Jinping to stop China’s support for Iran during a summit this week. Jeanne Shaheen makes the call in a Senate speech, arguing that Chinese firms help Iran economically and militarily, according to Reuters reports carried by the cited outlets.
Shaheen also points to reporting that Iran allegedly obtained high-resolution satellite imagery of a base in Jordan from Chinese entities before launching a missile attack. She links the imagery to a strike that killed three American soldiers and wounded four others. The outlets present her remarks as part of a broader effort to raise concerns about Iran-related cooperation involving China.
Across the coverage provided, the focus stays on Shaheen’s message to Trump and the specific concerns she raises about potential Chinese involvement in Iran’s capabilities and related activities. The reports cite her claims but do not add new, independently verified evidence beyond referencing the underlying reports she relies on.
