US investigates whether Russia helped Iran hit CIA facilities in the Persian Gulf

According to Reuters, American investigators have not yet reached a firm conclusion, but the accuracy and effectiveness of the attacks, along with technical support Moscow has allegedly offered to Tehran, have raised doubts about Russian involvement.

At least two CIA objects were hit during March. One was the agency's station within the U.S. Embassy in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, while the other object was located in eastern Iraq.

Two Western officials informed of intelligence reports have said that versions of Iranian fears “may have been used in the attack on embassy. Checked”, improved with Russian technology. The attack did not report murder or injuries.

Russia is also suspected of helping Iran improve accuracy and resistance to signal blocking systems. Moscow has denied reports that Tehran has been supplied to the Russian satellite navigation system “cometa-M”.

However, sources have warned that it remains possible for Iran to have generally targeted the American Embassy and accidentally hit the part where the CIA station was located.

The report was released at the time US Secretary of State Marco Rubio met in Manila with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. After the meeting, Rubio declared that the United States remains willing to play a constructive role in efforts to end the war in Ukraine.
