Washington Post: Russia Providing Information to Iran on US Targets

According to a Washington Post report, Russia is providing Iran with information on US targets in the Middle East, helping Iran strike US targets using satellite expertise. This is the first indication of the involvement of another major US adversary in the current conflict. Moscow is providing Iran with details on the location of US warships and aircraft, enhancing the accuracy of Iranian attacks, such as those in Kuwait that caused the deaths of US soldiers. This assistance is based on Russia's advanced satellite expertise. The US is closely monitoring developments, as Russia's assistance is reshaping the framework of a proxy war through third countries, similar to Russia's involvement in the conflict in Ukraine. Despite China's questionable involvement, Russia appears to be providing high-value intelligence, improving Iran's ability to strike US and allied facilities.
