“Indeed, the intelligence services, the Federal Security Service, received certain information from the intelligence services of the United States of America about what this, unfortunately, is possible, but, as our Russian colleagues said, the information was too general and did not allow us to fully identify those who participated in this terrible crime,” he said.

This is how he answered the question how reliable are the reports that a few days before the tragedy in the Crocus City Hall concert hall near Moscow, Tehran conveyed information to the Russian side about an impending terrorist attack.

Earlier, the director of the Federal Security Service of Russia, Alexander Bortnikov, spoke about information about the preparation of a terrorist attack received from the United States. According to him, these data were of a general nature.
