The USA to verify Zelensky's statement on satellite images for Iran

Verification of the Ukrainian President's Statement

According to ХВИЛЯ: The USA will verify the statement of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky about the transfer of satellite images of American military bases from Russia to Iran. President Donald Trump announced that he plans to clarify this information personally with Vladimir Putin. At the same time, Trump noted that he does not see any consequences from such cooperation:

“Well, we will find out if it is true. I will ask Putin about this. But if they did, it had no impact.” - Donald Trump

Zelensky's Statement

Zelensky stated that Russia is actively helping Iran target US military facilities and those in the Persian Gulf. He referred to data from Ukrainian intelligence and tasked them with sharing it with partners:

“I will instruct the intelligence to provide our partners with the information we have regarding Russia's new assistance to the Iranian regime. Since early July, we have recorded active satellite imagery by Russia of the territory of the Gulf countries and the American military facilities located there. Subsequently, such images end up in Iran.” - Volodymyr Zelensky

Furthermore, the Ukrainian President pointed out the existence of a clear correlation between Russian imaging of objects and Iranian strikes:

• “There is a clear correlation between Russian imaging of objects and Iranian forces' strikes - correlation both before and after Iranian attacks - to assess the damage caused.”

Kiev sees a direct link between the operations of Russian satellites and subsequent strikes.

This situation underscores the importance of international cooperation in the field of security, as information about military activities and potential threats requires immediate response. Zelensky's statement may prompt the USA and its allies to reassess security strategies in the region, considering the likelihood of increased cooperation between Russia and Iran. Discussion of these issues at the highest level may also affect future diplomatic relations between the countries, especially in the context of security in the Persian Gulf area.
