Volodymyr Zelenskyy told NBC News it would be a “mistake” if American-made missile interceptors bound for Ukraine were diverted to Gulf countries being attacked by Iran.
Russia took satellite images of a U.S. air base in Saudi Arabia three times in the days before Iran attacked the site and wounded American troops, according to a summary of Ukrainian intelligence shared with NBC News by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
In an interview in the Gulf nation of Qatar on Saturday, Zelenskyy said he was “100%” confident Russia was sharing such intelligence with Iran to help target U.S. forces across the Middle East.
“I think that it’s in Russia’s interest to help Iranians. And I don’t believe — I know — that they share information,” he said. “Do they help Iranians? Of course. How many percent? One-hundred percent.”
While the US was bombing school children, one one of the first things Iran did was strike US radar and early-warning systems. Now they have hit at the US’ equipment for facilitating long-range bombing and aerial supply movement. These were highly strategic and intelligent strikes that instantly pulled the rug out from under the US military.
Iran has been preparing for this moment for decades and they have a huge geological advantage as well. The loss of US life and equipment is going to be enormous. No shit Russia is helping Iran while Iran works to destroy one of Russia’s biggest foes.
