Russia allegedly sharing satellite intelligence on US bases with Iran, world leader claims
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned that Russian reconnaissance satellites have recently imaged key U.S. and allied military facilities across the Middle East, raising concerns about potential targeting, after returning from a high-stakes trip to Gulf countries now under Iranian attack.
Zelenskyy’s remarks come as Ukraine deepens its role in the region, sharing intelligence and defense expertise with Middle Eastern partners facing Iranian missile and drone strikes.
In a March 28 post on X, Zelenskyy said he had been briefed that Russian satellites photographed multiple strategic sites «in the interests of Iran,» including bases and critical energy infrastructure across the Gulf.
«Everyone knows that repeated reconnaissance indicates preparations for strikes,» he wrote.

According to Zelenskyy, the surveillance occurred over several days in late March. On March 24, Russian satellites reportedly captured imagery of the U.S.-U.K. military facility on Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean. The following days included Kuwait International Airport and parts of the Greater Burgan oil field, as well as Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia.
Additional sites imaged on March 26 included Saudi Arabia’s Shaybah oil and gas field, Turkey’s Incirlik Air Base, and Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, one of the largest U.S. military installations in the region.
Some of the locations identified by Zelenskyy, including places in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, have been targeted in recent Iranian attacks, though it remains unclear whether the satellite imagery he described was directly used in those operations.
The warning follows Zelenskyy’s recent visit to Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Jordan, where he discussed security cooperation and shared intelligence with regional leaders.

In an interview published Monday by Axios, Zelenskyy said Ukraine had provided Middle Eastern partners with information about Russian support for Iran, including potential targeting assistance.
«I think Russia is supporting Iran directly, 100%,» Zelenskyy told Axios. «The same format of sharing satellite images like they did in the case of Ukraine.»

Ksenia Svetlova, an associate fellow at Chatham House, said recent developments point to increased cooperation in that space. «There is more cooperation in everything that has to do with intelligence,» she said, citing reports that Russia has provided Iran with «a target list, basically, through their satellites, American targets, but also air targets in the Gulf.»
Svetlova added that such support enables Russia to assist Iran without deploying troops or equipment.
«They are doing for the Iranians whatever they can without spending money, spending troops, or spending equipment,» she said.

The White House has not confirmed the intelligence-sharing but said it is not impacting U.S. operations.
«Nothing provided to Iran by any other country is affecting our operational success. The United States military has struck more than 11,000 targets and destroyed more than 150 Iranian naval vessels, leading to their missile attacks and drone attacks decreasing by 90%. The terrorist Iranian regime continues to be crushed by the full might of the most lethal fighting force in the world,» White House spokeswoman Olivia Wales told Fox News Digital.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio also downplayed concerns about Russia’s role, telling reporters Friday: «There is nothing Russia is doing for Iran that is in any way impeding or affecting our operation or the effectiveness of it.»

Lt. Gen. Richard Newton (Ret.), a former U.S. Air Force assistant vice chief of staff, said the reports should not come as a surprise.
«The latest reports that Russia provided essential imaging intelligence to the Iranian regime to target a U.S. air base in Saudi Arabia should surprise no one. Putin is our adversary who can’t be trusted.»
«We should avoid a direct conflict with Moscow,» he added, «but there must be consequences for Russia aiding and abetting the Iranian regime that harms American military personnel and our assets.»

Russia has not publicly responded to Zelenskyy’s claims. Fox News Digital has reached out to the Russian government and the Iranian mission to the United Nations for comment and did not receive responses in time for publication.
Carrie Filipetti, executive director of the Vandenberg Coalition and a former senior State Department official, told Fox News Digital the reports reflect a broader and growing threat.
«There is no clearer signal that Russia is a dangerous adversary than the continued reporting that Russia is providing intelligence targeting Americans to a regime currently engaged in combat against the United States,» Filipetti said.
«American service members’ lives are at continued risk because of Putin’s war machine,» she added, warning that Washington must act to «hold the Russian regime accountable and prevent future American deaths.»

Zelenskyy has also questioned ongoing discussions about easing sanctions on Russia.
«There must be pressure on the aggressor. And lifting sanctions is certainly not pressure,» he wrote.

Trump’s proposed presidential library revealed as towering Miami skyscraper in striking new video
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
A newly released animated video shows renderings of President Donald Trump’s proposed presidential library in downtown Miami, featuring a soaring waterfront skyscraper and museum space.
Trump shared the video on Truth Social early Tuesday, offering a first look at the proposed project, while his son, Eric Trump, posted it on X with additional details, describing the project as a «lasting testament» to his father and his legacy.
«Over the past six months, I have poured my heart and soul into this project with my incredible team,» Eric Trump wrote, adding that the waterfront landmark would stand as a tribute to «an amazing man, an amazing developer, and the greatest President our Nation has ever known.»
«These images have never been seen by the public — until today. Enjoy!» he added.
Eric Trump has been leading the project’s development and serves as president of the Donald J. Trump Presidential Library Foundation and is one of its trustees.

The video, set to dramatic orchestral music, opens with sweeping aerial shots of the proposed waterfront site, showing landscaped grounds with palm-lined walkways, fountains and green spaces before revealing the towering glass structure.
It shows a tall glass tower topped with a spire, with Trump’s name displayed in gold lettering across the facade and a large American flag draped down the center. A presidential plane resembling Air Force One is showcased on the ground floor, alongside gold escalators reminiscent of Trump Tower in New York City.
Additional renderings show military aircraft displayed inside the complex and a large auditorium-style space featuring a towering gold statue of Trump, a stage and large-scale digital displays.

The design also includes replicas from Trump’s time in the White House, including the Oval Office, the West Colonnade and a planned ballroom.
The presidential library is set to be designed by Miami-based architecture and engineering firm Bermello Ajamil and built on a roughly 2.6-acre waterfront site.
Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis and the Florida Cabinet voted in late September to transfer the Biscayne Boulevard parcel to the Trump Presidential Library Foundation.

The proposed site, located near Trump National Doral, was briefly tied up in a legal battle after a federal judge paused the land transfer from Miami-Dade College before allowing it to proceed in December.
The Miami site is currently used as an employee parking lot for Miami-Dade College’s Wolfson Campus and is adjacent to the historic Freedom Tower, which served as a resource center for hundreds of thousands of Cubans who fled communism in the 1960s and 1970s and sought asylum in the United States. The 100-year-old structure is considered a symbol of the city’s vibrant immigrant heritage.
The site is surrounded by luxury high-rise apartment buildings and has waterfront views, facing directly toward the Kaseya Center, home to the NBA’s Miami Heat, as well as Dodge Island, where many of the world’s largest cruise liners dock.

The parcel was appraised at more than $66 million, according to media reports, but it could sell for at least $360 million, The New York Times reported, citing a real estate consultant.
President Donald Trump’s post also included a link inviting supporters to donate to the Donald J. Trump Presidential Library Foundation. The Trump Presidential Library Foundation’s other trustees are Tiffany Trump’s husband Michael Boulos and Trump attorney James Kiley.

Trump carried Miami-Dade County by 13 points, the first Republican to carry it since 1988.
The unveiling comes as former President Barack Obama’s presidential center in Chicago is scheduled to open in June.
