In particular, the data includes the locations of US warships and aircraft.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p> This is reported by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/national-security\/2026\/03\/06\/russia-iran-intelligence-us-targets\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The Washington Post.<\/a><\/p>\n<p> According to preliminary data, the information about the transfer of intelligence was confirmed by three officials familiar with the intelligence. They noted that Russia began transferring data on the locations of American military facilities to Iran after the war began.<\/p>\n<p> This concerns, in particular, the locations of US warships and aircraft in the Middle East.<\/p>\n<p> \u201cIt seems like this is a pretty comprehensive effort,\u201d said one of the journalists\u2019 interlocutors.<\/p>\n<p> Journalists note that the extent of Russia&#8217;s assistance to Iran remains unclear. At the same time, according to officials, the Iranian military has partially lost its ability to independently determine the location of American forces after less than a week of fighting.<\/p>\n<p> The article also states that 6 American servicemen were killed and several others were injured during an Iranian drone attack in Kuwait.<\/p>\n<p> Iran has launched thousands of drone strikes and hundreds of missiles at US military installations, embassies and civilian targets. Meanwhile, a joint US-Israeli operation has reportedly hit more than 2,000 targets inside Iran.<\/p>\n<p> Among them:<\/p>\n<ul><\/p>\n<li> ballistic missile positions;<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li> naval facilities;<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li> production infrastructure;<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li> other military targets.<\/li>\n<p><\/ul>\n<p> White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly said that Iran&#8217;s missile strike capabilities are gradually diminishing.<\/p>\n<p> \u201cThe Iranian regime is under severe pressure. Their ballistic missile response is being reduced daily, their fleet is being destroyed, their production facilities are being destroyed, and their allied groups are offering little resistance,\u201d said Anna Kelly.<\/p>\n<p> At the same time, the US Central Intelligence Agency and the Pentagon refused to comment on this information.<\/p>\n<p> US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said that Russia and China are not currently a key factor in this conflict.<\/p>\n<p> \u201cThey&#8217;re not really a factor here,\u201d said Pete Hegset.<\/p>\n<p> China is not providing Iran with defense assistance, despite close ties between the countries, according to two officials familiar with the intelligence.<\/p>\n<p> Analysts say Iran&#8217;s strikes on US forces have demonstrated high precision, targeting early warning systems, radars, and command and control facilities.<\/p>\n<p> Russian military expert Dara Masikot noted that the strikes were carried out purposefully against key elements of military infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p> \u201cThey are making very precise strikes on early warning radars or early detection radars. They are doing it very specifically. They are attacking the command and control system,\u201d said Dara Masikot.<\/p>\n<p> Analysts also noted that Iran has only a few military satellites and does not have its own satellite system, so Russia&#8217;s intelligence capabilities could be particularly valuable to it.<\/p>\n<p> It was previously reported that <a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/yak-udary-po-iranu-mozhut-vplynuty-na-pozytsiiu-putina-shchodo-ukrainy-analiz-politico\/\">after the US and Israeli strikes on Iran, Russia may use the situation to strengthen its position on Ukraine<\/a> .
