CNN Report: A U.S. military base in Saudi Arabia was overflown by 14 Russian spy satellites two days before Iran's devastating attack on it. The timing and sequencing of the spacecraft opened access to a large spectrum of data. That data, according to sources, helped Iran conduct some of its most precise attacks against U.S. assets.
