NEW | The Associated Press reports that Russia has provided Iran with intelligence that could help Tehran identify and potentially target United States military assets in the region, including warships, aircraft, and other strategic positions, according to U.S. officials familiar with classified assessments.

Sources said the intelligence may assist Iran in responding to the war launched by United States and Israel against the country. However, American intelligence agencies claim they have not found evidence that Moscow is directing Tehran on how the information should be used.

The White House sought to downplay the reports, with Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt asserting that the alleged intelligence sharing has had no impact on U.S. military operations against Iran.

Meanwhile, the Kremlin responded cautiously. Dmitry Peskov, spokesperson for Russian President Vladimir Putin, said Moscow remains in dialogue with Iranian leadership but stated that Iran has not formally requested military assistance.
