We have been providing extraordinary help to Ukraine in its fight against Russia, and now Russia is doing the same for Iran. They are allegedly notifying Iran of the locations of our ships, aircraft, and other assets. On the other hand, the US has asked President Zelensky of Ukraine to help the US.
The Washington Post reported that the precision in intel indicates Russia’s involvement:
Russia is providing Iran with targeting information to attack American forces in the Middle East, the first indication that another major U.S. adversary is participating — even indirectly — in the war, according to three officials familiar with the intelligence…
Since the war began Saturday, Russia has passed to Iran the locations of U.S. military assets, including warships and aircraft, said the three officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the matter’s sensitivity.

CBS News reported yesterday that the Iranian intelligence had “scouted the facility” where six soldiers were killed, which was fortified but had no defenses against drones. Russia might have helped them target that site.

Ironically, yesterday, President Zelenskyy of Ukraine said he’d received a request for help from the US and that “specialists” from Ukraine would help.

Russia is making big money supplying Iran. the more Iran launches missiles, the more they’ll order from Russia.
China’s most advanced spy ship, the Liaowang-1, has just entered the Persian Gulf intense zone. So, China is also helping Iran.
Russian help to Iran will be far better than any help Ukraine gives us. From Russia’s standpoint, we caused both wars, and are now attacking their ally. I agree. All the corrupt establishment papers still love the cold war and want to continue it. Those are the same places that said Trump is a Russian agent and Russia rigged the… Read more »
Z has lied so often, how can we trust what he says?
After all of Biden aid to the Ukraine, why wouldn’t Russia seek to weaken US military capability. (My enemy’s enemy is my friend.) Just, beware Putin, the Islamist hate you.
