Three officials familiar with the intelligence said the assistance had been ongoing since the war began on Saturday. One source told The Washington Post the alleged Russian support amounted to a 'pretty comprehensive effort' to help its ally Tehran target American forces in the region. Exactly how far Moscow's alleged support goes remains unclear, but officials said that Iran's own ability to track US positions has been weakened less than a week into the fighting. The claims emerged after six US troops were killed and several others were injured in an Iranian drone attack in Kuwait on Sunday. Iran has fired thousands of attack drones and hundreds of missiles at US military positions, even as the joint US-Israeli campaign has struck more than 2,000 targets inside Iran, including ballistic missile sites, naval assets and leadership positions. White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly did not address the claims of Russian assistance directly, but said: 'The Iranian regime is being absolutely crushed. 'Their ballistic missile retaliation is decreasing every day, their navy is being wiped out, their production capacity is being demolished, and proxies are hardly putting up a fight.' The CIA and Pentagon declined to comment. Moscow has publicly called for an end to the war, which it has branded an 'unprovoked act of armed aggression.' Two of the officials cited in the report said there was no sign China was helping Iran's defence despite Beijing's close ties with Tehran. Analysts said the alleged intelligence sharing would fit the pattern of Iranian strikes, including attacks on command and control sites, radar systems and temporary military structures. The CIA station at the US Embassy in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia's capital, was also struck in recent days. The alleged Russian assistance would add a new dimension to the proxy conflict that has surrounded Moscow's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Throughout the war in Ukraine, Iran, China and North Korea have all been accused of helping Russia either directly or through material support, while the United States has armed Ukraine and shared intelligence to improve Kyiv's targeting. Iran has been one of Moscow's key backers during the Ukraine war, sharing the technology behind the cheap one-way attack drones used against Ukrainian cities. Experts said the accuracy of some recent Iranian strikes suggested outside help may have played a role. Dara Massicot, an expert on the Russian military at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, said Iran had been making 'very precise hits' on radar and command infrastructure and appeared to be striking in a highly targeted way. She said Russian imagery would be especially valuable because Iran has only a limited number of military-grade satellites and no satellite constellation of its own. Nicole Grajewski, who studies Iran's cooperation with Russia at the Harvard Kennedy School's Belfer Center, said there had been a high level of 'sophistication' in Iran's retaliatory strikes, both in the choice of targets and in its ability in some cases to overwhelm US and allied air defences. The report comes amid growing concern in Washington over how quickly the Pentagon is burning through precision weapons and air defence interceptors as the conflict intensifies. |
