Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi will visit Moscow, where his meeting with Russian dictator Vladimir Putin is planned, Iranian Ambassador to Russia Kazem Jalali reported on April 26.

Araghchi plans to discuss the negotiations with the U.S., a ceasefire, and related issues with Russian officials during his visit.

"If there are any initiatives, both sides will hold consultations and discussions regarding them, as well as joint initiatives," Jalali added.

Russia provided Iran with satellite intelligence on over 50 of Israel's energy system facilities, primarily civilian infrastructure, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on April 5.

Russia handed over Shahed-type drones to Iran, as evidenced by Ukrainian intelligence data, the Ukrainian president stated in March. Russians are also providing intelligence to the Iranian regime, he reported. Moscow believes it can help Iran because the U.S. and Europe can help Ukraine with intelligence in the Russian-Ukrainian war, according to Zelenskyy.

Russia denies sharing intelligence data with Iran regarding the locations of American military facilities in the Middle East, U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff stated on March 10.

He sees no grounds to talk about Russia's support for Iran, U.S. President Donald Trump claimed on March 8.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi acknowledged the assistance from Russia. Cooperation between Iran and Russia "is not something new," he said, but he did not specify whether Russian intelligence helps Iran locate U.S. military assets.
