NBC also noted that the intelligence assistance from Russia could help Iran locate U.S. ships, radar, or other systems, but there is no indication Moscow is helping direct Iranian missile or drone strikes. The Kremlin did not confirm or deny the reports and called the war an \u201cunprovoked act of armed aggression.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>White House officials pushed back, with spokespersons saying the Iranian regime is being crushed and that Iran\u2019s ballistic missiles, navy, production capacity, and proxies are being weakened or defeated. A White House figure, Karoline Leavitt, told Fox News that whether or not Russia provided such intelligence, it wouldn\u2019t matter because President Trump and the U.S. military are \u201cabsolutely decimating\u201d the rogue regime. She asserted that Day Six of Operation Epic Fury had established U.S. dominance and air superiority, and that Iran\u2019s navy had become combat-ineffective.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019d like, I can condense this further, tailor it for a specific audience, or rephrase it in a more neutral or more opinionated tone<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2577089,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Ben-Working-Feature-Image-2026-03-06T164223.283.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[32404,69279,3823,4280,14541],"class_list":["post-2577088","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-geopolitics","tag-international-relations-2","tag-iran","tag-russia","tag-usa"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Ben-Working-Feature-Image-2026-03-06T164223.283.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2577088","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2577088"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2577088\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2577092,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2577088\/revisions\/2577092"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2577089"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2577088"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2577088"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2577088"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
