Trump downplays importance of Russia reportedly sharing intel with Iran to help it hit U.S. targets
President Donald Trump said on Saturday (March 7, 2026) that it was inconsequential if Russia has provided Iran with information to help Tehran target U.S. military personnel and assets in West Asia as the week-old war rages.
The President dismissed the import of such information-sharing after he attended the dignified transfer for six Army reservists who were killed in a drone strike in Kuwait the day after the U.S. and Israel launched a war on Iran that has unsettled the global economy.
“If you take a look at what has happened to Iran in the last week, if they are getting information, it is not helping them much,” Mr. Trump told reporters on Air Force One as he flew to Miami, where he is spending the rest of the weekend.
