During Phone Call With Trump, Putin Reportedly Denied Sharing Intelligence With Iran on US Military ‌Assets in the Middle East

Are the Russians sharing intel with Iran to help them target US troops and assets?

We have been following the reports saying that Russians would be sharing intel with Iran to help them target US troops and military hardware, as you can read in JUST IN: Russia Is Providing Iran With Intelligence To Help Target US Troops and Military Assets in The Region: REPORTS.

Our take on this potentially thorny subject was that it was the same thing that the US was doing for Ukraine against Russia, and even President Donald J. Trump appeared to think the same way.

“Wouldn’t they say that we do it against them?”

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov also seemed to imply that this might be true:

But now, it arises that, according to US special envoy Steve Witkoff, Russia has denied sharing ​intelligence with Iran on US military ‌assets in the Middle East.

Reuters reported:

“Witkoff said the denial came during ​a phone call that U.S. President Donald ⁠Trump had with Russian President Vladimir ​Putin on Monday.

[…] ‘Yesterday on the call ​with the president, the Russians said that they have ‌not ⁠been sharing’, Witkoff said when asked if Washington thought Russia had shared with Tehran intelligence about the location of U.S. military ​assets.

‘We [can’t] ​take them ⁠at their word. But they did say that. And yesterday ​morning, independently, Jared (Kushner) and I had ​a ⁠call with (Kremlin foreign policy aide Yuri) Ushakov who reiterated the same’, said Witkoff. He added: ‘That’s a ⁠better ​question for the intel ​people, but let’s hope that they’re not sharing’.”

Watch: Witkoff on whether the Russians are sharing intelligence on US assets in the Middle East with Iran.
