Russia provided Iran with list of Israeli energy targets, Ukrainian intelligence finds – Jerusalem Post
Russian intelligence has given Iran a detailed list of 55 key energy infrastructure targets in Israel, according to a source close to Ukrainian intelligence cited by The Jerusalem Post. The report shows growing military and intelligence cooperation between Moscow and Tehran and suggests Iran could use the information to launch precision missile strikes on Israel’s energy grid.
The targets are divided into three levels:
Level 1: Critical production sites, whose destruction would cripple the national system, including the Orot Rabin power station.
Level 2: Major urban and industrial energy hubs, mostly in central Israel serving large populations.
Level 3: Local infrastructure, such as regional substations supporting industrial zones and smaller power plants.
Russian intelligence reportedly warned Iran that Israel’s grid is highly isolated. As an “energy island” with no electricity imports, even limited damage to key components could cause a total, prolonged energy collapse, triggering mass blackouts and technical failures that would be hard to fix.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has grown increasingly vocal about the Russia-Iran alliance, warning that the “knowledge” Russia has gained on the battlefields of Ukraine is being exported to the Middle East.
“The Russians also helped them, like the Iranians helped [Russia] at the beginning of the war when they gave them Shaheds,” Zelensky told the Jerusalem Post in an interview two weeks ago. “They gained big knowledge on the battlefield and this impacting and will have an impact on other regions.”
Zelensky further claimed that Russia has begun providing Iran with Shahed-style drones manufactured on Russian soil. He alleged in an interview with the Jerusalem Post that “Russian components” were discovered in a drone recently downed in a Middle Eastern country, though he declined to name the specific location for security reasons.
