Sources told media outlets that “Russia provides Iran with information about the locations of American forces.”
CBS News, the BBC’s US partner, published the report, citing three informed sources, including a high-ranking US official.
The Washington Post reported on Friday, citing three officials familiar with the intelligence, that Russia is providing Iran with targeting information, including the locations of American warships and aircraft in the Middle East.
The White House spokeswoman did not comment directly on the alleged Russian support for Iran.
White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly said in a statement in response to questions from Reuters, “The Iranian regime is being completely crushed. Their ballistic missile retaliation is diminishing by the day, their naval fleet is being eliminated, their production capacity is being destroyed, and their proxies are barely resisting.”
