Is Iraq Sharing U.S. Intelligence With Russia?

Defense One: Pentagon Scrambling to Know What U.S. Secrets Iraq Tells Russia

Iraq’s move to share more intelligence with Russia has Pentagon and lawmakers concerned.

Pentagon officials do not know what secrets the Iraqi government may be telling Moscow, after Iraqi leaders unexpectedly entered into an intelligence-sharing agreement with Russia this weekend.

The Defense Department’s second-in-command told the Senate on Tuesday the agreement came as a surprise to military intelligence and Pentagon teams are scrambling to make sure classified intelligence from the U.S. does not make its way into the hands of Russian, Syrian or Iranian authorities.

WNU Editor: Iraq is saying no .... that they are not (and will not) share U.S. intelligence with Russia .... Iraq Assures US of Protecting Intelligence From Russians, Iranians (Sputnik). What's my take .... they are going to share this intelligence .... the war against the Islamic State is Baghdad's priority .... not satisfying U.S. intelligence concerns. On top of everything else .... the growing perception in Iraq (and elsewhere) is that the U.S. is not serious in the war against the Islamic State, and that after one year of promises, commitments, and assisting the Iraqis in their war .... and with mixed results ....  Baghdad is now looking for other allies and strategies to win its war against the Islamic State.
