WATCH | Mysterious lights over Tehran caught on video. Drone, aircraft or something else?

Reports say Russia may be providing intelligence to Iran about the locations of US military assets in the Middle East. According to officials cited in media reports, Moscow has shared information on the positions of American warships, aircraft and other military infrastructure.

The intelligence sharing is believed to help Iran track and potentially target US forces across the region amid the ongoing conflict involving Iran, the United States and Israel.

Officials cited in the reports say the information may include location data and surveillance intelligence that could improve Iran’s targeting capability. However, it is not clear how directly the intelligence has been used in attacks.

Russia has previously condemned US and Israeli strikes on Iran, while the reported intelligence cooperation highlights growing military coordination between Moscow and Tehran during the escalating crisis.

As the US-Israel war with Iran continues, a central question on military minds is how long U.S. forces can sustain intercepting waves of Iranian drones and missiles. Tehran has fired hundreds of missiles and one-way attack UAVs in retaliation for U.S. and Israeli strikes, forcing Western air-defence systems like Patriot and THAAD to work overtime to protect bases and allies. Experts warn that while current defence systems can intercept most incoming threats, the high rate of fire is rapidly depleting expensive interceptors and could strain stockpiles if hostilities continue for weeks.
