According to a new report, Russia offered to curb intelligence support for Iran if the United States stopped sharing intelligence with Ukraine, but the Trump administration rejected the proposal. The reported offer surfaced as the White House continued trying to manage two volatile fronts at once, the war in Ukraine and the worsening confrontation involving Iran.
According to a report published by POLITICO on Friday, the proposal was relayed by Kirill Dmitriev, a Kremlin envoy, during talks in Miami with U.S. officials, including Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. Under the reported framework, Moscow would scale back intelligence assistance to Tehran, while Washington would halt intelligence support to Ukraine, a tradeoff U.S. officials and outside diplomats viewed as lopsided given the far broader strategic stakes of the war in Europe. The Trump administration reportedly declined the offer.
