Report: Russia Offered to Halt Iran Intel Sharing If U.S. Ended Ukraine Intelligence Support

Overview

• Politico reports that Russian envoy Kirill Dmitriev raised the proposal last week in Miami with Trump administration envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner.
• U.S. officials rejected the offer, according to the reporting, and Dmitriev later posted that the account was fake, echoing a broader Kremlin denial.
• The reported tradeoff linked a halt to Russian intelligence supplied to Iran about U.S. military assets to a U.S. stop to sharing intelligence with Ukraine.
• Unnamed sources also described ongoing Russia–Iran intelligence cooperation used to target U.S. forces, a claim Moscow has publicly dismissed.
• Sources said Russia floated additional Iran-related ideas, including moving Iran’s enriched uranium to Russia, which were also reportedly rejected by U.S. interlocutors.
