Historic and rare visit of the CIA Director to Cuba: A diplomatic mission on behalf of Trump

During an unusual and unprecedented event since the Cuban Revolution in 1953, the Director of the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), John Ratcliffe, visited Havana. According to a report by آخرین خبر, which is identified with critical positions toward the West in Iran, the visit took place last Thursday with the goal of delivering a direct message from U.S. President Donald Trump to the Cuban leadership.

The American message, as also reported by Afghanistan International (which maintains a journalistic and Western reporting line), clarifies that Washington would be willing to engage in "serious economic and security engagement" with Havana only if "fundamental changes" are carried out in the country.

According to آخرین خبر, the visit comes against the backdrop of internal upheaval in Cuba, which is dealing with a severe energy crisis, prolonged power outages, and a growing wave of civil unrest. American officials cited by the Reuters news agency noted that Ratcliffe met with Cuba's security and intelligence chiefs as part of his secret trip.

Experts view this move as an attempt by the Trump administration to influence the political reality on the island during a period of growing tension between the two countries. While Afghanistan International emphasizes the very existence of contact at the highest levels as a "sign of rare communication," Iranian sources emphasize the American condition for structural change as part of external pressure on the Cuban regime.
