Russia is providing intelligence to Iran on the location of U.S. forces, sources say

Russia is reportedly providing Iran with intelligence on the locations of U.S. forces in the Middle East, according to sources familiar with the matter.

The information, which may include satellite data on American ships and communication systems, could help Iran target U.S. assets but is not believed to directly guide missile or drone strikes.

Iran began attacking U.S. bases after the United States and Israel launched an air campaign against the country.

U.S. officials say Iran’s retaliation is weakening as its military capabilities are being degraded, NBC News has reported.

The intelligence sharing highlights the widening geopolitical impact of the conflict, with Iran also acknowledging political support from Russia and China.
