Russia is sharing satellite imagery and drone technology with Iran, WSJ reports

Russia is enhancing Iran's precision strike capabilities by sharing satellite imagery, drone tactics, and targeting intelligence to improve operations against U.S. forces, the Wall Street Journal reported.

  • On Tuesday, The Wall Street Journal reported that Russia supplied Iran with satellite imagery and advanced drone tactics to help target U.S. forces in the Middle East.
  • Moscow drew on its Ukraine war experience to advise Tehran on drone use, including numbers and altitudes, deepening their security cooperation, a senior European intelligence leader said.
  • An officer and a Middle Eastern diplomat told The Journal that Russia shared locations of American forces and provided improved Shahed drone technology to Iran, according to analyst Jim Lamson.
  • Analysts warned the move could sharpen Iran's precision‑strike capability against U.S. assets, and The Journal said 'Russia is trying to keep its closest Middle Eastern partner in the fight against U.S. and Israeli military might and prolong a war that is benefiting Russia militarily and economically'.
  • The Wall Street Journal published on Tuesday that Reuters could not immediately verify the report about Russia sharing intelligence with Iran.
