The alleged intelligence sharing between Russia and Iran, leading to an attack on a US base, is likely to increase geopolitical instability in the Middle East, potentially driving up oil prices and diverting Western resources from Ukraine. This could benefit Russia by increasing its oil revenues and weakening the support for Ukraine.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy claimed that Russia provided satellite intelligence to Iran, enabling an attack on the Saudi Arabia — Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia. According to Ukrainian intelligence, Russian satellites repeatedly imaged US and allied installations in the Middle East, including the Saudi Arabia — Prince Sultan Air Base, in the days leading up to the March 26 attack. Iran subsequently launched six ballistic missiles and 29 drones at the base, injuring 12 US service members and damaging aircraft. Volodymyr Zelenskyy expressed 100% certainty about Russia's involvement, stating it is in Russia's interest to help Iran. He also warned that the escalating conflict in the Middle East could benefit Russia by increasing oil revenues and diverting Western attention from Ukraine. During his visit to the Gulf states, Volodymyr Zelenskyy signed 10-year defense agreements with Saudi Arabia and Qatar, offering Ukraine's expertise in drone warfare and defense systems.
