Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy alleges Russia has been sharing satellite intelligence on U.S. and allied military facilities in the Middle East with Iran. Zelenskyy claims Russian satellites imaged strategic sites, including bases and energy infrastructure in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Turkey, and Diego Garcia, over several days in late March. He suggests this reconnaissance indicates preparations for strikes, raising concerns about potential targeting. Zelenskyy's warning follows his trip to Gulf countries where he discussed security cooperation and shared intelligence with regional leaders facing Iranian attacks. He stated Ukraine has provided Middle Eastern partners with information about Russian support for Iran, including potential targeting assistance, similar to how Russia shares satellite images related to Ukraine.
