Clear and direct involvement by Russia in Iranian strikes against the United States would risk a dangerous escalation that could include hits on Moscow’s assets in the region, experts have said.
[John Healey](https://inews.co.uk/topic/john-healey?ico=in-line_link), the UK Defence Secretary, said this week that the “hidden hand” of Putin was behind the “tactics” and even military capabilities of Iran in its response to attacks by the US and Israel. Iranian attacks on targets across the Middle East “have the hallmarks” of Russian troop operations in their [war against Ukraine](https://inews.co.uk/topic/russia-ukraine-war?ico=in-line_link), he added.
Russia is believed to have passed Iran targeting information to attack US forces in the Middle East, according to *The Washington Post*. In its report last week, the paper said Russia had passed Iran the locations of US military assets, including warships and aircraft, citing three officials familiar with the intelligence.
The US government appears to have brushed off Russia’s activity, with Trump admitting Putin “might be helping [Iran] a little bit”.
He added: “It’s not doing much, if you take a look at what’s happened to Iran over the past week. [Russia] would say we do it against them, wouldn’t they?”
However, six US troops were killed by an Iranian drone in Kuwait this month and on Thursday, six more were [confirmed to have been killed](https://inews.co.uk/news/oil-tankers-queue-in-pakistan-4282413?ico=in-line_link) when a military refuelling plane crashed in western Iraq. US Central Command said the circumstances of that crash were being investigated, but the incident was not due to hostile or friendly fire.

This reads like russian propaganda. Trump turning on Russia would end both wars quicker. Not start world war 3. What rubbish.

He’s not going to retaliate against Russia and it’s hard to imagine any sentient being believing this

Solid evidence could be brought to Trump that Russia has been helping the Iranians and resulted in the loss of American lives, yet he still wouldn’t do anything about it because he’s Putin’s bitch.

That’s a real joke. He might say something like „russia may be helping Iran a little bit“ then lifts sanctions russia and has a meeting of his buddies with russia about more business opportunties they can open up. Screw him

While Russia would deserve this, it would probably destroy the world as we know it.
Better to use cunning and tact to force a collapse…sadly the entire administration has neither.

Who spends the time to write a long article based on such an obviously faulty premise. Trump admires Putin and nothing is going to chamge that.

EU could send another strongly worded letter to Putin and have another 20 meetings over crumpets and tea and take another 20 group photos.
Putin knows he can do whatever he wants in Europe at this point.

Trump is much more likely to nuke Canada than turn on his daddy.
One wrong move by [Vladimir Putin](https://inews.co.uk/topic/vladimir-putin?ico=in-line_link) in [Donald Trump’s](https://inews.co.uk/topic/donald-trump?ico=in-line_link) Iran war could prompt US retaliation against Russian assets as the American death toll ticks up, following reports that Moscow is providing intelligence to Tehran.

The extent of Russia’s targeting assistance to Iran is not entirely clear. Recent reports have suggested [Russia’s support of Iran](https://inews.co.uk/news/putin-feeding-iran-blueprint-most-devastating-attacks-4270306?ico=in-line_link) may have stepped up from general intelligence-sharing to advanced tactical advice regarding the use of [drones](https://inews.co.uk/topic/drones?ico=in-line_link).
