US EditionIranian Official Claims Russia Gave Israel Intelligence During Iran War
Iranian official Said Mohammad Sadr stated Russia shared Iranian air defense locations with Israel during the June 2025 conflict, questioning the reliability of their strategic partnership.
- On August 24, 2025, Iranian political advisor Said Mohammad Sadr asserted that throughout the 12-day conflict in June between Iran and Israel, Russia shared information regarding the positions of Iran’s air defense systems with Israel.
- This claim contrasts with Russia's verbal disapproval of Israel's attacks on Iran and follows a January 2025 strategic partnership treaty signed by Russian President Putin and Iranian President Pezeshkian in Moscow.
- During the conflict, Israeli forces effectively neutralized Iran’s air defenses, established air superiority, and targeted critical nuclear sites, while Russia’s assistance to Tehran remained limited. Meanwhile, Moscow maintained military sales to other nations such as NATO member Turkey, which received S-400 air-defense systems, highlighting a complex dynamic in the region.
- Sadr stated the strategic alliance with Russia is meaningless, saying Russia helped Israel in practice and cannot be trusted despite ties being maintained; experts note this may signal shifts in regional politics and affect Moscow-Tehran relations.
- The events highlight limits of the Iran-Russia partnership, as Iran seeks to restore its damaged defense capabilities and relies increasingly on partners like Belarus, while Moscow's support remains largely verbal and economic rather than strategic.
