Russia Reportedly Provides Iran with Targeting Information for US Forces

The Washington Post reports, citing three officials, that Russia is providing Iran with information on US targets in the Middle East. The extent of the support is unclear, however Iran's ability to locate US forces has been degraded following recent attacks by the US and Israel. The conflict is escalating with retaliations from Iran and increasing American military casualties, as evidenced by the death of six reservists in Kuwait. A White House spokesperson declined to comment on the information, while a Kremlin spokesperson stated that Russia is in dialogue with Iranian leadership, without providing further details. The war has benefited Russia, increasing demand for its oil and natural gas, while also boosting its exports which had been impacted by sanctions. The US had also shared intelligence with Ukraine during its war with Russia.
