Russian intelligence reportedly shared a detailed list of 55 critical Israeli infrastructure targets with Iran, according to Ukrainian intelligence sources.
Russia Shares Target List with Iran
On April 6th, “The Jerusalem Post” reported that Russian intelligence provided Iran with a detailed list of 55 critical energy infrastructure targets in Israel, citing sources from Ukrainian intelligence.
The information confirms deepening military and intelligence cooperation between Moscow and Tehran, with the data enabling Iran to conduct precise missile attacks on Israel’s energy network.
Categorization of Israeli Infrastructure
Russian intelligence reportedly categorized Israel’s energy infrastructure into three levels based on strategic importance.
Level 1 includes key production facilities whose destruction would paralyze the national energy system, with the Orot Rabin power plant identified as a primary target.
Level 2 comprises major urban and industrial energy centers, primarily located in central Israel, serving large populations. Level 3 encompasses local infrastructure, including regional substations and smaller power plants supporting industrial zones.
Israeli Network Resilience
Russian assessments indicate that Israel’s energy network is highly isolated compared to many European countries.
As an “energy island” not importing electricity from neighbors, Russian intelligence reportedly informed Iran that damaging even a few key system components could lead to a complete and prolonged energy collapse, causing widespread power outages and difficult-to-resolve technical failures.
Russian Denial and Prior Allegations
Russian Ambassador to Israel, Anatoly Viktorov, denied the allegations, stating that Russian officials have repeatedly opposed accusations of providing intelligence data to Iran.
Reported Data Sharing on US Forces
“The Washington Post” reported in early March that the Kremlin had indirectly become involved in the war, providing Iran with locations of US forces in the Middle East, including warships and aircraft.
The report noted Russia had improved its targeting capabilities during the war in Ukraine.
Kremlin’s Stated Position
Despite these allegations, the Kremlin has officially called for an end to the war, describing it as an “unprovoked act of armed aggression” and expressing willingness to contribute to peaceful solutions.
