Russia is providing Iran with intelligence to help it strike American military forces in the Middle East, the Washington Post reported Friday, citing U.S. officials familiar with the matter.
One official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, described the information sharing as a “pretty comprehensive effort,” though the full extent of Russia’s assistance remained unclear, the newspaper noted.
The targeting information is said to have included the locations of U.S. warships and aircraft.
Iran’s own ability to locate American forces has been degraded since the United States and Israel began launching devastating attacks on the country this weekend, the officials said.
There was no immediate response from Moscow to the allegations.
Russia is one of Iran’s closest partners. It has condemned U.S.-Israeli attacks on the Islamic republic as an “unprovoked act of armed aggression.”
In 2025, the two countries signed a strategic partnership agreement that includes provisions for countering shared threats. However, the pact stops short of mutual defense obligations, unlike the security agreement Russia has signed with North Korea.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told NBC News this week that “military cooperation between Iran and Russia is no secret.”
“We have cooperated in the past, and this cooperation continues, and I hope it will continue in the future,” Araghchi said, declining to disclose further details.

There allies, big deal. I like our ally better, Israel.
I’m sure Russia remembers who targeted and provided missile guidance so the Moskva could be sunk by “Ukrainians”.
No one should be surprised by this.
Well, gee:
What do zeepers expect after supporting US assistance to ukes against Russia?
smh
I’m sure China is doing the same thing but that doesn’t stop the USA from expelling millions of Chinese spies in our universities and corporations.
Of course they are.
Why is this even newsworthy?
What do putinistas expect after supporting Russia?
Stupid is as stupid posts.
Russia should have had good intelligence on Ukraine for the past 4 years, it cannot seem to keep track of military targets dug by a backhoe or workshops that are building 10k drones per week.
Stupid is as stupid posts.
Russia, China: not our friends.
It’s a dangerous world and we have lots of enemies. No shortage of actors who wish to destroy us, but we knew that.
Who knows how long our Republic has left...
BS!
The Washington Post cannot be believed about anything...
I’m sure chicoms are too.
All Iran can do is point the missile in the general direction of the target. They don’t have a targeting or guidance system. What they hit is what they hit.
I suppose turnabout is fair play.
We've been providing intelligence and military planning for Ukraine (in addition to weapons and training) for the entire four year war.
Why wouldn't Russia being doing the same in Iran?
Soon Iran won’t have the ability to act on Russian intel. They barely do right now.
yes, a very serious concern indeed
but fortunately for the good guys, that Russian and Chicom intell doesn’t appear to be working all too well for the IslamoNazis in Teheran
