President Donald Trump says it's inconsequential if Russia has provided Iran with information to help Tehran target U.S. military personnel and assets in the Middle East.

Trump dismisses reports Russia is sharing targeting intel with Iran, calling the alleged assistance largely ineffective.

Donald Trump and his officials have avoided questions about Russia reportedly providing Iran with intelligence in a concerning war development

The death toll continues to rise in the war with Iran. At least 1,230 people are dead in Iran, more than 200 in Lebanon and around a dozen in Israel have been killed, along with six U.S. troops.

Cooperation between Russia and Iran has given Iran the means and cover to act aggressively. Even as Moscow's support has been revealed as hollow, it still drives action.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth rebuffed concerns that Russia is supporting Iran amid the U.S.’s ongoing military operation in the Middle East. Hegseth said “no one’s putting us in danger” when asked by CBS News’s Major Garrett about reports that Russia provided information to Iran to help them target U.

The targeting information has included the locations of American warships and aircraft in the Middle East, the officials said.

The Washington Post report said the precise extent of Russia’s targeting support remains uncertain. Officials indicated that Iran’s own capacity to track US forces independently has been weakened since the start of the conflict.
