EU Official Accuses Russia of Helping Iran Target Americans

Kaja Kallas, the European Union's High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, has accused Russia of providing intelligence support to Iran that is used to target and kill Americans.

Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of a Group of Seven meeting in the suburbs of Paris, Kallas said Russia is also supporting Iran with drones for attacks on neighboring countries and US military bases. She described the current conflicts as interconnected and said that if the United States wants Iran to stop its attacks in the Middle East, it must pressure Russia to end its assistance.

The Kremlin has rejected the allegations, denying any involvement in supplying drones to Iran. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov described the claims as part of many lies being published in the media about the situation in Iran.

"Currently, many lies are being published in the media and even the most reputable publications do not hesitate to publish them. Ignore them," Peskov said.

Media reports, including from NBC News, have stated that Russia shared information on the locations of US forces in the Middle East with Iran following joint US-Israeli strikes.
