Russian satellites aid Iran-backed strikes on Saudi oil infrastructure

Russia is reportedly providing satellite intelligence to Iran-backed groups, specifically the Houthis, to facilitate strikes on critical Saudi oil infrastructure and Riyadh's international airport. While Houthi claims of strikes are frequent, the alleged Russian satellite assistance marks a significant escalation in Moscow-Tehran military cooperation and a direct external role in enabling attacks on Saudi assets. The extent of damage and operational impact on Saudi infrastructure remains largely unconfirmed, but flight disruptions at Riyadh airport are corroborated.
