Russia-Iran satellite intel link revealed by Ukraine

Ukrainian intelligence has assessed that Russian satellites conducted at least 24 surveillance surveys of US bases and other military sites across 11 Middle Eastern countries between March 21–31, with Iran striking those same locations shortly afterwards. The finding puts Moscow directly in the intelligence loop of Iranian military operations, complicating the ceasefire's diplomatic backdrop. The assessment was reported by Reuters.
