"Since the war began on February 28, Russia has passed Iran the locations of US military assets, including warships and aircraft, three officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, told The Washington Post. It does seem like it's a pretty comprehensive effort, one of the sources told the newspaper."
"Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, in a CBS 60 Minutes interview on Friday, said the US is tracking everything and factoring it into battle plans when asked about the reports Moscow was aiding Tehran. The American people can rest assured their commander-in-chief is well aware of who's talking to who."
"Meanwhile, anonymous officials told The Associated Press news agency that US intelligence has not uncovered that Russia is directing Iran on what to do with the information, as the US and Israel continue their bombardment and Iran fires retaliatory salvoes at US assets and allies in the Gulf."
The Pentagon reports monitoring Russian-Iranian intelligence cooperation, with Russia allegedly providing Iran locations of US military assets including warships and aircraft since February 28. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth stated the US is tracking all activities and incorporating them into battle plans, downplaying concerns that Russian assistance endangers American personnel. US intelligence has not found evidence Russia is directing Iran's use of the shared information. White House officials claim Russian assistance is ineffective against ongoing military operations, asserting the US is significantly degrading Iranian capabilities. Pentagon leadership maintains confidence in operational security and emphasizes the US is putting adversaries at risk rather than facing vulnerability.
