Russia Escalates Involvement by Sharing U.S. Military Intelligence with Iran

February 24 – March 26, 2026

Where Things Stand

Russia is sharing secret U.S. military locations with Iran during a conflict that has killed seven American service members. This information allows Iran to target U.S. bases and embassies more accurately while the military carries out Operation Epic Fury. President Trump says Russia may be doing this as payback for U.S. support of Ukraine but he is still keeping military options on the table.

Key Statements

CCBS News

A U.S. Army Central memo reveals Iranian intelligence likely tracked U.S. forces in Kuwait before a retaliatory strike that killed six American service members.

This memo provides direct evidence that Iranian forces are using intelligence to target U.S. troops.

TThe Hill

President Trump suggests Russia may be providing military aid to Iran as a reciprocal response to U.S. support for Ukraine during a Fox News interview.

This confirms the President's awareness of the intelligence sharing and his view on why it is happening.
