According to a report by NBC cited by Abu Ali Express, Russia is providing Iran with satellite surveillance and signals intelligence (SIGINT), enabling Tehran to better track American forces and improve its defenses against US airstrikes. The report, attributed to American and European officials, follows earlier claims from OSINTdefender on the same subject.
The Zioneer reported earlier today (08:22 Jerusalem) that OSINTdefender claimed Russia was providing electronic intelligence to Iran. The new report, from Abu Ali Express citing NBC, adds explicit attribution to American and European officials. The intelligence reportedly includes satellite imagery and signals intelligence, helping Iran locate US forces and improve its air defenses against American airstrikes. The claims remain unverified by US authorities. The report adds to a growing body of reporting, previously covered by The Zioneer, detailing Russian intelligence support to Iran amid the regional escalation.
