Hegseth on reports Russia aided Iran: "Anything that shouldn't be happening" will be "confronted strongly"

U.S. officials confirm Russia shares intelligence on U.S. and Israeli military operations with Iran amid ongoing Middle East conflict involving multiple sources.

  • Earlier Friday, The Washington Post first reported that Russia is providing intelligence to Iran on U.S. positions during joint U.S.-Israeli military operations, marking the first known indication of such aid.
  • CBS News reported earlier Friday that a senior U.S. official cited intelligence sharing from Russia to Iran, with a full interview set to air Sunday on CBS.
  • Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said he is 'tracking everything' and that President Trump is aware, adding improper actions "are being confronted and confronted strongly."
  • White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said she cannot comment on 'intelligence reports that are leaked to the press' and later stated it 'doesn't matter' as operations continue, while officials suggested President Trump’s ties could halt foreign involvement.
  • Media commentators warned the average American might see this as "a big and dangerous deal," but U.S. officials insisted 'No one's putting us in danger' and said commanders factor the reports while Iranians face the primary risk.
