Russia has reportedly provided Iran with a detailed list of critical Israeli energy infrastructure sites that could be targeted in potential strikes, signaling a deepening of military and intelligence cooperation between Moscow and Tehran.

According to The Jerusalem Post on April 6, citing a source close to Ukrainian intelligence, the list includes 55 energy-related facilities across Israel. The data was compiled by Russian intelligence and transferred to Iran to support potential precision strikes against Israel’s energy system.
The targets are categorized into three levels based on their strategic importance. The first level includes key power generation facilities, with the Orot Rabin power station identified as a primary target.
The second level consists of major urban and industrial energy hubs, primarily located in central Israel. The third level includes regional infrastructure such as substations supplying industrial zones and smaller power plants.
The Jerusalem Post reports that the assessment provided by Russia highlights what it describes as a structural vulnerability in Israel’s energy system. Because Israel operates as an “energy island” and does not import electricity from neighboring countries, damage to a limited number of critical components could trigger widespread and prolonged outages.
The report notes that such disruptions could result in large-scale blackouts and technical failures that would be difficult to quickly restore.
According to The Jerusalem Post, Ukrainian officials believe Russia has a dual objective in sharing this intelligence.
As cited by the outlet, “Ukrainian officials claim that Russia has a dual motive for transferring this intelligence. Moscow seeks to strengthen the resolve of its main ally in the region and provoke a new crisis in the Middle East that would divert international attention and resources away from the war in Ukraine.”
Earlier, according to Financial Times on March 26, Russia began supplying Iran with attack drones—likely upgraded Geran-2 variants based on the Iranian Shahed-136—marking a reversal in their military relationship, alongside reported transfers of satellite intelligence and other support.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy previously stated that Russia had transferred such drones to Iran for use in attacks against US military assets in the Middle East. In an interview with CNN, he said: “You know, they use an Iranian license and have produced many drones. They transferred them. I have 100% facts that the Iranian regime used them against American bases and its neighbors in the Middle East.”
