Russia is reportedly providing intelligence to Iran concerning U.S. positions amidst ongoing military operations, according to three sources, including a senior U.S. official. This marks the first known instance of Russian intelligence assistance to Iran. The disclosure comes as the U.S. and Israel continue strikes against Iranian military capabilities.
Kremlin press secretary Dmitry Peskov confirmed that Russia is engaged in "dialogue" with Iranian leadership. These developments follow statements by Iran's Foreign Minister that Russia and China are providing political and other forms of support. The Trump administration has not yet issued a public response. Six U.S. troops have been killed during the offensive, dubbed Operation Epic Fury, following an Iranian strike in Kuwait.
