Russia-Iran Satellite Intelligence Sharing for Houthi Strikes on Saudi Oil

Russia is reportedly providing satellite intelligence to Iran, which is then used by Iran-backed groups, including Houthis, to target Saudi Arabian oil infrastructure. While Houthi attacks on Saudi oil facilities are confirmed, the direct link to Russian satellite intelligence remains largely claimed, with medium confidence in the overall intelligence sharing. The extent of damage from recent Houthi strikes on critical Saudi oil terminals, particularly Ras Tanura, is unconfirmed.
