US Iran War: Amidst the ongoing war between America, Israel and Iran, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has made a big claim. He has said that Russia is helping Iran. According to Zelensky, before Iran’s attack on the American air base (Prince Sultan Air Base) located in Saudi Arabia, Russia took satellite photos of it three times. He talked about sharing this information with Iran.
Iran has attacked Prince Sultan Air Base in Al-Kharj, Saudi Arabia with missiles and drones. At least 10–15 American soldiers were injured in the attack and several American refueling aircraft were damaged.
‘Russia took satellite photos three times’
In an interview, Zelensky said that according to Ukrainian intelligence, a few days before Iran attacked a US air base in Saudi Arabia, Russia had taken satellite photos of the site three times. President Zelensky said he is 100% sure that Russia is sharing intelligence with Iran to help target US forces in the Middle East.
He said that the Russian satellite took pictures of Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia on March 20, March 23 and March 25. After this, Iran attacked here on 26 March.
Russia benefits from Iran’s help – Zelensky
The Ukrainian President also said that I think helping Iran is in Russia’s benefit. He said that we know that if they are taking pictures once, they are preparing. The second time they took pictures it was a kind of practice and if they did it the third time it meant they would attack in a day or two. However, the satellite images did not provide direct evidence of the claims nor did it explain how Kiev got the information.
Zelensky further said that Iran and Russia have had deep relations for many years. Russia has been continuously providing arms and military equipment to Iran. He believes that Russian President Vladimir Putin wants to continue the war in the Middle East for a long time, because it increases oil prices in the international market and Russia benefits more.
