CBS News has confirmed that Russia is providing intelligence to Iran regarding U.S. military positions in the Middle East, according to a report from the network.

The intelligence sharing could potentially assist Tehran in targeting American military forces in the region, though the extent and specific nature of the information being shared remains unclear.

The report comes amid ongoing tensions in the Middle East and evolving relationships between Russia, Iran, and the United States. Both Russia and Iran have been subject to various U.S. sanctions in recent years.

The development represents another dimension of cooperation between Moscow and Tehran, which have strengthened ties in various areas including defense cooperation. The two countries have previously collaborated on military matters, including Iran's provision of drones to Russia for use in Ukraine.

Neither Russian nor Iranian officials have publicly confirmed or denied the intelligence sharing arrangement. The U.S. government has not issued an official response to the CBS News report.
