Overview
- Politico reports that Russian envoy Kirill Dmitriev raised the proposal during Miami talks last week with U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner.
- The reported quid pro quo would have Moscow stop providing Iran with intelligence on U.S. military positions in the Middle East in exchange for Washington ending intelligence sharing with Ukraine.
- U.S. representatives rejected the offer, and the United States continues to provide intelligence to Kyiv even as other support has been reduced.
- Dmitriev publicly dismissed the report as fake and the Kremlin called it Western disinformation.
- European diplomats expressed alarm over a potential bid to divide transatlantic policy, and sources said other Iran-related Russian proposals, including moving Iran’s enriched uranium to Russia, were also declined.
