U.S. Suspects Russian Assistance to Iran in Targeting CIA Facilities in Gulf
(Reuters) Jonathan Landay - Iranian drone attacks on CIA facilities in the Gulf have prompted U.S. intelligence analysts to investigate whether Russia assisted by providing targeting information. U.S. officials have acknowledged that Russia has provided targeting and other support for Iran in its strikes on U.S. targets in the Gulf region generally. A source said Russia has helped Tehran improve the accuracy of its Shahed-136 drones by supplying a satellite navigation system that experts say is far more accurate and harder to jam than the one produced by Iran.
