Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has accused Russia of aiding Iran in targeting U.S. military bases in the Middle East through satellite surveillance. Zelenskyy claims that since early July, Russian satellites have been actively monitoring Gulf states and U.S. military sites, with the images later appearing in Iran. He suggests a correlation between this surveillance and Iranian strikes on these bases. This isn’t the first time such allegations have surfaced; reports have previously indicated that Russia might be providing intelligence to Iran, with potential involvement from China. During a recent Capitol Hill hearing, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth acknowledged some level of assistance from Russia and China to Iran, though he kept details classified. However, President Trump later contradicted this, stating on social media that he believes neither Russia nor China is involved, based on assurances from their leaders. Despite this, Zelenskyy highlighted specific instances of Russian satellite activity over U.S. bases, suggesting ongoing cooperation between Russia and Iran.
