Kremlin Dismisses Report On Deal With US To Halt Intel Sharing With Iran

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov

The Kremlin has knocked down a report by media outlet Politico that it offered to make a deal with the United States where it would stop sharing intelligence with Iran if Washington stopped sharing such information with Ukraine.

"We certainly saw this report. It falls into the category of untrue, or rather, false," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told journalists in Moscow on March 23. Over the weekend Politico cited sources as saying Russian presidential envoy Kirill Dmitriev offered the deal during a meeting with US presidential envoy Steve Witkoff in Miami.

Politico said the United States rejected the proposal. Dmitriev earlier had written in a post on X that the report was "fake."

Iran Threatens To Mine Entire Persian Gulf If Attacked

Iran's Defense Council, which was established in August 2025 after the 12-day war to centralize wartime decision making, has threatened to mine the entire Persian Gulf if Iranian shores or islands come under attack.

As US President Donald Trump's deadline for Iran to fully open the Strait of Hormuz approached, the council said that, if attacked, it would mine all access routes and communication lines in the Gulf and along the coasts with various types of naval mines, including floating mines that could be released from shore.

The council added that, in such a case, the entire Gulf would effectively face a situation similar to the Strait of Hormuz for an extended period in that it would be essentially blocked.

In a statement, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corp (IRGC) says that in the event of an attack on Iranian power plants, it will retaliate, targeting Israeli and regional power facilities that supply electricity to US bases.

IEA Chief Says Energy Crisis From Iran War A 'Major Threat' To Global Economy

The chief of the International Energy Agency (IEA) says the global economy faces a "major threat" from the energy crisis spilling out of the Middle East war and warns that "no country will be immune to its effects."

"This crisis, as things stand, is now two oil crises and one gas crash put all together," he said.

"The global economy is facing a major, major threat today, and I very much hope that this issue will be resolved as soon as possible," Birol said.

"No country will be immune to the effects of this crisis if it continues to go in this direction. So there is a need for global efforts," he said.

Lebanese Prime Minister Says IRGC Commanding Hezbollah Fighters

Lebanon's prime minister said members of Iran's hard-line Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) are commanding pro-Tehran Hezbollah fighters in the country in the group's war against Israel.

Prime Minister Nawaf Salam, in an interview with the Al Hadath network on March 22, slammed Hezbollah for dragging Lebanon into the Middle East war by firing rockets toward Israel.

"It was declared that this war was in retaliation for the assassination of Khamenei, so this means this war was imposed upon us," he said, referring to the Iran's late supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed on the first day of US-Israeli air strikes on Iran.

Israeli air strikes have blasted sections of Lebanon in the fight against Hezbollah, including Beirut's southern suburbs.

Salam said an incident in which an Iran-made drone hit a British sovereign base in Cyprus earlier this month was initiated by the "Revolutionary Guard, which is present and, unfortunately, is managing the military operation in Lebanon."

"These people have forged passports and entered the country illegally," he added.

Lebanon has banned the activities of the IRGC in the country and has imposed a ban on Hezbollah military activity.

The United States has designated Hezbollah a terrorist organization, while the EU has sanctioned the group's military wing but not its political organization in the country.
