Iran warned Russia of security threats before Moscow attack: Sources

Iran tipped off Russia about the possibility of a major “terrorist operation” on its soil ahead of the concert hall massacre near Moscow last month, three sources familiar with the matter said.

“Days before the attack in Russia, Tehran shared information with Moscow about a possible big terrorist attack inside Russia that was acquired during interrogations of those arrested in connection with deadly bombings in Iran,” said one source.

Iran’s intelligence ministry said in January it had arrested 35 people linked to twin bombings on Jan. 3 in the southeastern city of Kerman that killed nearly 100 people. On Jan. 19, the ministry said it had arrested a commander of Islamic State’s Afghanistan-based branch ISIS-Khorasan (ISIS-K).

A second source, who also requested anonymity due to the sensitivity of the issue, said the information Tehran provided to Moscow about an impending attack had lacked specific details regarding timing and the exact target.

“They [the members of ISIS-K] were instructed to prepare for a significant operation in Russia... One of the terrorists [arrested in Iran] said some members of the group had already traveled to Russia,” the second source said.

A third source, a senior security official, said: “As Iran has been a victim of terror attacks for years, Iranian authorities fulfilled their obligation to alert Moscow based on information acquired from those arrested terrorists.”

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Monday he had no information about an Iranian warning to Moscow ahead of the concert hall massacre.

"Iran warned Russia of security threats before Moscow attack: Sources"

Joe Biden probably warned Iran first. Iran passed it along to Russia.

“”””Joe Biden probably warned Iran first. Iran passed it along to Russia.””””

From the article.
“Days before the attack in Russia, Tehran shared information with Moscow about a possible big terrorist attack inside Russia that was acquired during interrogations of those arrested in connection with deadly bombings in Iran,”

“They [the members of ISIS-K] were instructed to prepare for a significant operation in Russia... One of the terrorists [arrested in Iran] said some members of the group had already traveled to Russia,”

“As Iran has been a victim of terror attacks for years, Iranian authorities fulfilled their obligation to alert Moscow based on information acquired from those arrested terrorists.”

Are the Russians incompetent? Or did they allow it to happen so Putin could shift the blame to Ukraine?
