Russian spy satellites photographed a joint UK-US military base on Diego Garcia after Iran launched two ballistic missiles at the site, Ukraine’s president has claimed. Volodymyr Zelensky stated that these images were taken "in the interests of Iran", alongside surveillance of other bases in the Middle East housing American and British troops.
This assertion escalates concerns about cooperation between Tehran and Moscow. The Ministry of Defence had previously indicated it was "highly likely" that Russia shared intelligence with Iran even before the outbreak of war last month, a sentiment now amplified by Mr Zelensky’s latest revelation.
