As the US-Iran war approaches the six-month mark, CIA Director
John Ratcliffe makes a secret eight-hour flight to Moscow to meet
with Russian officials.

On today’s episode of Iran: The Latest, Roland Oliphant and
senior foreign correspondent Adrian Blomfield analyze whether
Donald Trump offering Vladimir Putin a trade-off on Ukraine to
sever Moscow’s backing of Tehran, or issuing a direct
intelligence warning against Russian regional escalation.
Meanwhile, China has hit back against Scott Bessent’s ‘Operation
Economic Outcast’ sanctions, calling them “illegal” and pledging
to protect commerce.

Plus, Tehran has issued a $10M assassination bounty targeting
Donald Trump's son Barron, while questions mount over whether
Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei is dead or incapacitated while
the regime rules via a "phantom" leadership.
