Zelensky vows to prove Russia is helping Iran attack US bases
Zelensky suggests that Russia shares satellite images of US bases in the Middle East with Iran, which later end up being attacked
Volodymyr Zelensky, president of Ukraine, claims that Russia is helping Iran attack US bases in the Middle East and promises to prove it soon.
Through a message published on platform
"Since early July, we have detected active Russian satellite surveillance of the Gulf states and US military facilities located there. These images subsequently appear in Iran.
At the same time, there is a clear correlation between Russian satellite images of these sites and Iranian attacks, both before the attacks, in preparation for them, and afterward, to assess the damage caused,” he wrote.
In order to give greater weight to his words, Zelensky referred to what, in his opinion, are concrete and recent examples of the collaborative work developed between Russians and Iranians.
“Only between July 19 and 20, four air bases fell within the area of influence of Russian satellites: two in Bahrain, one in Jordan and one in Kuwait.
The objective is clear. No one in the world should ignore a very simple fact: evil always looks for ways to make things worse and spread. Russia must be stopped. We must stop this war. The pressure on the aggressor must have an effect,” he emphasized.
Earlier this week, during a hearing held on Capitol Hill, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth also defended the thesis that Russia, as well as China, operate in combination with Iran to attack groups of US military personnel assigned to several bases established for years in the Middle East.
"There is certainly an alliance between adversaries, attempts to achieve it, and there are many ways to deter it. The depth and scope of this alliance must remain classified, and so it should be.
"There are ways in which both countries are limiting, at different levels, some of Iran's actions," he said.
However, days later, through a publication on the Truth Social platform, President Donald Trump trashed Hegseth's comments.
"Two important countries that are often talked about in relation to Iran, in my opinion, are not participating. If they did, it would be very detrimental to them; it would certainly not be in their best interest," he wrote.
