Cuban President Warns of Potential U.S. Military Strike Amid Rising Tensions
Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel has issued a warning about the possibility of a U.S. military strike against Cuba. This announcement was made during a public address in Havana, marking the anniversary of Cuba's socialist revolution. Díaz-Canel described the current situation as 'absolutely challenging' and urged the nation to prepare for self-defense. This marks a significant escalation from previous criticisms of U.S. policy to explicit warnings of potential military conflict. A White House official, speaking anonymously, dismissed the Cuban leadership, suggesting that the government is weakening, especially after losing support from Venezuela. The U.S. Southern Command, which oversees military operations in the Caribbean, has not indicated any change in military posture or operations in response to these warnings.
