Donald Trump has responded to the news that Russia is providing Iran intelligence to help them kill Americans by helping Russia's oil industry.

Literally rewarding Russia for helping to kill Americans.

WASHINGTON — Russia is providing intelligence to Iran on the location of U.S. forces in the Middle East, a boost for the Tehran regime as it launches missile and drone attacks on American bases and other targets in the region, according to four sources with knowledge of the matter.

The intelligence assistance from Russia could help Iran locate American warships, radar or other communication systems but there is no indication Moscow is helping direct Iranian missile or drone strikes, the sources said.

Iran began firing missiles and drones at U.S. bases and other American targets after the United States and Israel launched an air war against the regime last Saturday.

Russia’s decision to provide Iran with data from its satellites and other intelligence underscores the widening geopolitical fallout from the war and could carry potential risks for American ships, aircraft and bases in the region.
