Washington may be turning to Moscow for help over the Strait of Hormuz. Iranian sources claim CIA Director John Ratcliffe’s surprise Moscow visit carried a U.S. message urging Russia to pressure Tehran and restore freer passage through the strategic waterway. The reported request comes amid heightened tensions surrounding Iran and the vital shipping route. Moscow allegedly rejected the appeal, according to the sources. U.S. officials confirmed Ratcliffe visited Russia but did not publicly disclose the trip’s purpose. If confirmed, the reported outreach would mark a striking diplomatic development, highlighting Washington’s efforts to address the escalating crisis through unexpected channels.
