美国特使史蒂夫·维特科夫(Steve Witkoff)周二表示，俄罗斯官员在与美国总统唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)的电话中否认他们正在与伊朗分享美国军事资产的情报。
“我们可以相信他们的话，”维特科夫在一次采访中说采访美国消费者新闻与商业频道。“对于英特尔的人来说，这是一个更好的问题，但让我们希望他们不会分享。”
特朗普周一与俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京进行了约一个小时的通话。
“昨天在与总统的通话中，俄罗斯人说他们没有分享。他们就是这么说的，”维特科夫说。
白宫新闻秘书卡罗琳·莱维特周二告诉记者，特朗普和维特科夫向俄罗斯发出了一个信息，“如果正在发生的事情。这不是他们乐意看到的事情，他们希望这不会发生。"
“至于这两位领导人之间讨论的进一步细节，我将让总统透露更多的对话，”莱维特说。
美国广播公司新闻周五报道据两位知情人士透露，美国认为俄罗斯一直在向伊朗提供美国军队在中东的位置，包括飞机和船只。
一个情报官员向美国广播公司证实，美国认为俄罗斯正在提供但没有说具体分享的是什么类型的信息。
情报共享可能使伊朗人能够用弹道导弹和无人机瞄准特定地点，将美国军人置于危险之中。
特朗普本人周一在佛罗里达州的新闻发布会上淡化了俄罗斯的参与。
"...他想提供帮助，”特朗普谈到普京及其与伊朗的关系。
随着冲突的展开，普京一直是伊朗的坚定支持者。普京祝贺该国新的最高领袖莫伊塔巴·哈梅内伊，并在一份声明中表示，他重申克里姆林宫在一封信中表示，俄罗斯“坚定不移地支持伊朗，并声援伊朗朋友”。
王牌称普京对史诗般的狂怒行动“印象深刻”。
“我们和普京总统讨论过这个问题。他对自己所看到的印象非常深刻，因为没有人见过类似的东西，”王牌后来在新闻发布会上补充说。
周末，特朗普表示，俄罗斯和伊朗之间的任何情报共享都是无关紧要的。
特朗普在飞往迈阿密的空军一号上对记者说:“如果你看看伊朗上周发生的事情，如果他们正在获取信息，那对他们没有太大帮助。”
Russia denies giving Iran intelligence on US troops in Middle East, Witkoff says
Russian officials denied in a phone call with President Donald Trump that they are sharing intelligence on U.S. military assets with Iran, U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff said Tuesday.
"We can take them at their word,"Witkoff said during aninterview with CNBC."That's a better question for the intel people, but let's hope that they're not sharing."
Trump spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin Monday for about an hour.
"Yesterday on the call with the president, the Russians said that they have not been sharing. That's what they said," Witkoff said.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters Tuesday that Trump and Witkoff sent a message to Russia that "ifthat was taking place. It's not something they would be happy with, and they hope that it is not taking place."
"As for further details about the discussions between these two leaders, I'll leave it to the president to divulge any more of that conversation," Leavitt said.
ABC Newsreported on Fridaythat the U.S. believes that Russia has been providing Iran the locations of American troops in the Middle East, including aircraft and ships, according to two people familiar with the intelligence.
Anintelligence official confirmed to ABC News the U.S. belief thatRussiais providingintelligence to Iran but did not say exactly what type of information was being shared.
The intelligence sharing could enable the Iranians to target specific locations with ballistic missiles and drones, putting U.S. service members at risk.
Trump himself downplayed Russia's involvement during a news conference Monday in Florida.
"... he wants to be helpful," Trump said of Putin and his involvement with Iran.
Putin has been a firm supporter of Iran as the conflict has unfolded. Putin congratulated the country's new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei and said in a statement that he reaffirmedRussia's "unwavering support for Tehran and our solidarity with Iranian friends" in a letter put out by the Kremlin.
Trumpsaid that Putin was "very impressed" with Operation Epic Fury.
"We talked about that with President Putin. He was very impressed with what he saw because nobody's ever seen anything quite like it,"Trumplater added in the news conference.
Over the weekend, Trump said any intelligence sharing between Russia and Iran was inconsequential.
"If you take a look at what's happened to Iran in the last week, if they're getting information, it's not helping them much," Trump told reporters on Air Force One as he flew to Miami.
