Iran’s attack on the CIA may have been supported by Russia, analysts say

Iran’s attack on the CIA may have been supported by Russia, analysts say
Questions are mounting inside the U.S. intelligence community after a series of Iranian drone strikes hit CIA facilities in the Gulf, prompting investigators to examine whether Russia played a direct role in making the attacks possible.

Officials familiar with the intelligence assessment say analysts are exploring whether Moscow supplied targeting information, upgraded drone technology or both. No definitive conclusions have been reached, but the effectiveness of the strikes has intensified scrutiny of Russia’s long-standing military cooperation with Tehran.

Intelligence agencies examining Russian role​

According to Reuters via. people familiar with the investigation, analysts are looking at several indicators that could point to Russian involvement in the attacks on CIA sites.

At least two facilities were struck in March, including the CIA station located inside the U.S. Embassy in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, as well as another site in eastern Iraq. Other locations may also have been targeted, although officials declined to disclose additional details.

One internal assessment produced by a Western intelligence agency reportedly concluded that Russia likely played a role in helping identify the regional CIA facilities that were attacked.

Advanced drones under scrutiny​

Western officials briefed on intelligence reports believe the strike in Saudi Arabia may have involved enhanced versions of Iran’s Shahed drones that had benefited from Russian assistance.

According to those officials, one drone breached a vulnerable section of the embassy’s exterior before a second aircraft entered through the opening and exploded inside. No deaths or injuries were reported.

Separate intelligence sources also say Russia has helped improve the accuracy of Iran’s Shahed-136 drones by providing the Kometa-M satellite navigation system, which analysts describe as significantly more accurate and more resistant to electronic jamming than Iran’s domestic alternative.

The Kremlin has previously denied reports that it supplied the system, calling those claims “fake news.”

Investigators still weighing the evidence​

Despite growing suspicion, intelligence officials caution that important questions remain unanswered.



Analysts are examining whether Iran specifically targeted the CIA station inside the embassy or whether the agency’s offices were struck as part of a broader attack on the diplomatic compound.

Several officials noted that only a limited number of countries possess both the intelligence capabilities and the strategic motivation to provide highly sensitive targeting data against U.S. intelligence facilities.

Concern over Moscow’s possible involvement has intensified following additional Iranian strikes on U.S. positions in the region, including an attack on an American base in Jordan that killed two soldiers.

Former CIA station chief Daniel Hoffman said such cooperation would fit the broader strategic relationship between Russia and Iran.

“They share an interest in trying to reduce or eliminate U.S. influence altogether in their self-designated spheres of influence,” Hoffman said.

I don’t believe it’s psychological.

They have removed a lot of aircraft and tankers to Israel and deeper in Saudi Arabia, which is a tactic they did before Feb 28th attacks.

E-3’s have arrived as well as B-1 bombers.

Could be this weekend they plan to attack pickaxe mountain with B-2’s then also do bombing runs on major Iranian cities and infrastructure. Possible commando raids on Iranian nuclear sites or missile dens on the coastline shouldn’t be discounted as far fetched.

One thing which confuses me, the French keep ranting about Irans missiles they need to be curtailed and they tried to go through the UN for that, the Germans dont stop blaming Iran if a mosquito in Israel dies and the UK continues to allow their territory to be used to bomb Iran yet Iran allows these embassies to operate there. Shouldn't they have recalled their ambassador and expelled these 3 along time ago?

I mean what have they to lose, its not like they are lining up to invest in Iran or lift sanctions, to the contrary UK just designated IRGC as a terrorist organisation and any chance European 3 get to sanction Iran they will.

I want Pakistan to have balanced relations between Saudi Arabia and Iran.

However your country is in a war with USA. Is it wise to be the American empire's enemy?

No doubt USA is a warmongering nation. But still, there may be an alternative way of dealing with USA.

How do you propose ‘dealing’ with a State that has provided diplomatic cover, military and financial resources for its ‘closest ally’ to perpetrate a genocide, bomb multiple other regional states, tear up international laws, treaties and agreements, abducted a sitting Venezuelan President and goes around bombing and invading whoever it feels like?

Perhaps the US Assessment of the Pakistani Establishment was accurate - they’ll sell their own mothers, and perhaps Pakistanis need to grow a pair like Iran to finally understand how to protect and advance the interests and well being of the Pakistani people.
