US EditionRussia Sharing Intelligence with Iran to Target US Forces, Officials Say
Russia has shared satellite and targeting data with Iran to help locate U.S. military assets in the Middle East, following Iranian drone strikes that killed six U.S. service members, officials say.
- The Washington Post cited three officials saying Russia provided Iran with real-time locations of U.S. warships and aircraft since the fighting began on Saturday, with sources anonymous due to sensitivity.
- Russia and Iran deepened ties with a January 2025 partnership treaty, which analysts cited by The Washington Post say boosted defence and intelligence cooperation, benefiting Moscow amid ongoing conflicts.
- Analysts say the assistance likely included satellite information and intelligence data as Iran's tracking capability weakened since February 28, improving precision against radars and command-and-control targets.
- The report could mark a broader escalation, as officials say China does not appear to be providing military assistance, while the scope of Russia's support remains unclear.
