Russia is allegedly providing "tactical advice" to Iran regarding the use of drones during conflicts in the Middle East.
Operative Information Center-OMM reports that CNN has released information concerning this strategic cooperation. According to sources, Russia has been assisting Tehran with drone tactics specifically intended for potential strikes against targets in the Persian Gulf.
Western intelligence reports indicate that Russia previously assisted Iran in utilizing advanced techniques for the deployment of "Shahed" drones, which have been extensively used in the Ukrainian conflict. While the specific nature of the tactical recommendations remains classified, the reports suggest that the level of military coordination between the Kremlin and Tehran has reached a new stage. Furthermore, American media outlets have alleged that Russia shared intelligence regarding the locations of US troops, although Moscow is not believed to be directly involved in coordinating specific attacks.
US President Donald Trump has dismissed the allegations regarding Russia sharing intelligence with Iran, describing the claims as "stupid." Meanwhile, Pete Hegseth, the Secretary of Defense, stated that he was not concerned by these reports. This development comes amid long-standing concerns from the international community regarding the deepening military-technical partnership between Russia and Iran, which includes the exchange of aviation technology, missile components, and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) expertise. Such cooperation is viewed by analysts as a significant factor influencing the security architecture of both Eastern Europe and the Middle East.
