Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said in a March 28 post on X that Russian reconnaissance satellites had imaged multiple strategic military and energy sites across the Gulf “in the interests of Iran,” listing targets including Diego Garcia (March 24), Kuwait International Airport, parts of the Greater Burgan oil field, Saudi Arabia’s Prince Sultan Air Base and Shaybah field, Turkey’s Incirlik Air Base, and Qatar’s Al Udeid Air Base. Zelensky told Axios he believes Russia is “directly, 100%” supporting Iran by sharing satellite imagery akin to Moscow’s use of overhead intelligence in Ukraine, analysts say this amounts to a “target list,” and the White House — while not confirming the claims — says any assistance to Iran has not degraded U.S. operations, citing thousands of strikes and a reported 90% drop in Iranian missile and drone attacks.
