Russia mapping US assets to help Iran, Zelenskyy says

(Francesca Micheletti – Politico) Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy accused Moscow of helping Tehran target U.S. military assets in the Middle East, including with satellite images ahead of Iranian strikes on an American base in Saudi Arabia. “This morning, I was briefed that U.S. military facilities in the Middle East and the Gulf region were photographed by Russian satellites in the interests of Iran,” Zelenskyy wrote in a post on X late Saturday. “On March 25th, they took pictures of the Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia,” he added. The Prince Sultan base was attacked by Iran early Saturday with ballistic missiles and drones, injuring at least 15 U.S. troops, according to media reports. The base — a joint Saudi-U.S. installation about 96 kilometers from Riyadh — had already been targeted twice earlier in the week. – Russia mapping US assets to help Iran, Zelenskyy says – POLITICO
