White House downplays intel that Russia is assisting Iran

Russia reportedly has provided Iran with information that could help Tehran strike American warships, aircraft and other assets in the region. The information comes from two officials familiar with U-S intelligence on the matter. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt downplayed reports that Russia was sharing intelligence with Iran about U.S. targets. Leavitt declined to say if President Trump had spoken to Russia’s Vladimir Putin about the intelligence.
