Russian President Vladimir Putin this week reportedly offered to stop sharing targeting intelligence with Iran if the United States agreed to do the same in Ukraine.

Reports of Russian targeting support for Iranian operations against U.S. targets surfaced early in the war. The U.S. has long provided Ukraine with intelligence throughout the war.

Russian envoy Kirill Dmitriev reportedly made the offer to Trump envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, who rejected the plan, according to Politico, which cited "two people familiar" with the negotiations.

The offer comes as Iran continues to target U.S. facilities and critical infrastructure in the Persian Gulf. Their targeting of a Qatari oil facility this week in response for an Israeli attack on an Iranian one ultimatley led Trump to publicly repudiate the Israeli attack and deny knowledge of the operation.

He further promised to restrain Israel from targeting Iranian oil infrastructure if Iran ceased its own attacks on American allied oil production.
