Putin offers to stop sharing intel with Iran if US cuts off Ukraine
Moscow proposed a quid pro quo to the U.S. under which the Kremlin would stop sharing intelligence information with Iran, such as the precise coordinates of U.S. military assets in the Middle East, if Washington ceased supplying Ukraine with intel about Russia.
Two people familiar with the U.S.-Russia negotiations said that such a proposal was made by Russian envoy Kirill Dmitriev to Trump administration envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner during their meeting last week in Miami.
The U.S. rejected the proposal, the people added. They, like all other officials cited in this article, were granted anonymity due to the sensitivity of the discussions.

Two guys with a rock solid reputation for keeping their promises. This agreement would be worth a lot.
It's an obvious scam.
Sharing intel isn't worth all the billions of hardware AND intel the US provides to Ukraine. And Russia is naturally interested in keeping the Iran war ongoing to export oil to more countries at higher prices while the US is distracted and the strait's closure causes a glut on oil capacity.
I agree with you that the agreement would also be worthless. Also it would be so hard to prove that the intel was shared...
What a stupid proposal.
"If you stop sharing data (which we won't be able to verify), then we promise, we'll totally stop sharing data too (which you also won't be able to verify). Do we have a deal?"
Does Trump know?
If you have to ask. He doesn't
Yeah it honestly reeks of desperation.
I offer Putin a fleshlight with sandy lube and novichok in exchange for him to go and fuck himself.
The US is still providing support to Ukraine?
Seems to be Intel, more than munitions or other weapon systems
Yeah, right
Liar, liar pants on fire. Nose as long as a telephone wire.
This guy is credible.
