War Update: US Media Claims Russia Shared Intelligence with Iran

The ongoing conflict between Iran, Israel, and the United States continues to escalate with new political and intelligence claims. According to reports cited by U.S. media, Russia allegedly shared sensitive intelligence with Iran, including information about military bases and strategic targets. American lawmakers claim that this intelligence helped Iran carry out retaliatory attacks against U.S. and allied positions in the region. At the same time, tensions have intensified over Iran’s leadership succession after the reported death of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. His son, Mojtaba Khamenei, was widely expected to become the next Supreme Leader. However, the formal announcement of his leadership has reportedly been postponed due to security concerns and fears of further U.S. attacks. U.S. President Donald Trump also issued a strong warning, stating that the next leader of Iran should not threaten the United States or its allies. Meanwhile, Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister, speaking during the Raisina Dialogue 2026 in New Delhi, mocked Trump’s comments and questioned his authority to influence Iran’s leadership decisions.
