The Wall Street Journal reported Sunday that Iran has adapted its operational methods to counter US defensive systems, according to unnamed US officials. The officials expressed concern that Iran's ability to strike sensitive targets with precision may indicate it is receiving intelligence and targeting support from China or Russia.
The report follows a Saturday evening report by The Zioneer, which cited a security-focused source saying the US is investigating whether China or Russia provided targeting intelligence to Iran. The new report provides additional detail on the nature of US concerns.
The claims are based on a single report from the Wall Street Journal, citing unnamed officials. There has been no official confirmation from the US, China, or Russia. The Zioneer will continue to monitor developments.
