@igorsushko: RT by @mikenov: The Iranian dictatorship intends to defend itself from impending Israeli strikes with Russian S-400 air defense systems, allegedly crewed by Russian soldiers. Good luck with that. 😂 This footage reportedly shows the S-400 test fire in Iran from last month.

Escalating Attacks on CIA Facilities

Recent Attacks on CIA property in the Middle East

Recent reports indicate that a series of Iranian missile and drone strikes have inflicted unprecedented damage on U.S. intelligence facilities across the Middle East, including installations operated by the CIA.
Middle East Eye

Here is a breakdown of the current situation and the strategic implications of these attacks:

Scope of the Damage
According to U.S. sources, the recent strikes targeted buildings, surveillance infrastructure, and intelligence-gathering systems maintained by American spy agencies in various regional host nations.
Middle East Eye

Financial Impact: Repair and replacement costs for the compromised equipment and infrastructure are expected to reach into the billions of dollars.
Middle East Eye

Historical Scale: Officials have described the destruction as unparalleled, marking the most severe losses ever sustained by American intelligence operations in the region.
Middle East Eye

The Russian Intelligence Connection
A critical focus for U.S. analysts is the high precision and effectiveness of these strikes, which has raised strong suspicions of Russian intelligence involvement.

Targeting Tradecraft: The locations of CIA overseas stations (often housed within embassies, safe houses, or logistics hubs) are strictly classified. U.S. intelligence believes few nations aside from Russia possess the capability to obtain such sensitive coordinates and the willingness to weaponize that data against the U.S.
www.chosun.com

Modified Ordnance: Attacks on at least two CIA facilities earlier this year—one inside the U.S. Embassy in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and another in eastern Iraq—reportedly utilized Russian-modified versions of Iran’s Shahed drones.

Navigation Upgrades: Russia has also reportedly supplied Iran with the “Kometa-M” anti-jamming satellite navigation system, which allows Iranian drones to utilize both Russian GLONASS and U.S. GPS data while resisting electronic warfare countermeasures.

Strategic Context
These attacks are part of a broader, escalating conflict in the region. Tensions surged in February 2026 following joint U.S.-Israeli military strikes against Iran, prompting this sustained campaign of retaliatory Iranian strikes against American regional assets. While a Pakistani-mediated memorandum of understanding aimed at ending the hostilities was signed in mid-June, negotiations have since collapsed over disputes regarding the terms and navigation rights through the Strait of Hormuz.
