Zelensky Says Russian Satellite Images of American Bases Keep Appearing in Iran — Before and After Strikes
Zelensky said Russian satellite surveillance of Gulf states and US military facilities has appeared in Iran and helped guide strikes on four air bases.
- On Saturday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky claimed his forces struck Iranian vessels in the Caspian Sea, achieving "very strong results with long-range strikes" against ships transporting military cargo between Iran and Russia.
- Zelensky alleged that since early July, Russia has provided Iran with satellite surveillance of US military facilities in the Gulf, including air bases in Bahrain, Jordan, and Kuwait, to assist targeting.
- During a Capitol Hill hearing, Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth noted "adversary alignment" between Russia, China, and Iran; Iran's foreign ministry reported the Ukrainian attack caused their ship "to explode, killing one sailor and injuring several others."
- Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi condemned the strike as a "hostile and criminal act" and "blatant UN Charter violation," warning that what Kyiv did "CANNOT GO UNANSWERED" while denying Iran intervened in the Ukraine-Russia conflict.
- President Trump contradicted his defence secretary on Truth Social, stating he did not believe Russia or China were assisting Iran after receiving assurances from Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Jinping.
