Washington Post: Russia Cooperating with Iran, Secretly Providing Information on US Military Facilities

According to a Washington Post report, Russia is providing Iran with information on targeting US military facilities in the Middle East. This marks Russia's involvement in the conflict, albeit indirectly. Russia is alleged to have given Iran the locations of US warships and aircraft, helping Iran to target US forces. This assistance began at the start of the war and had not been previously reported. US officials state that Iranian attacks are targeting strategic objectives, such as command and control infrastructure and radar. Russia is providing information on how to hit these facilities, leveraging its advanced space capabilities. The Washington Post reports that Russia sees potential advantages in a prolonged war between the US and Iran. Russia's involvement in the conflict further complicates the situation in the Middle East.
