Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Cuba Warns Military Is 'Prepared' for US Aggression Amid Rising Tensions
Caption: Cuba Warns Military Is ‘Prepared’ for US Aggression Amid Rising Tensions. Cuba’s deputy foreign minister Carlos Fernández de Cossío said the country is prepared for any potential U.S. military action. His comments follow remarks by U.S. President Donald Trump suggesting the U.S. could “take” Cuba. Cossío stressed that while an attack is unlikely, Cuba would be “naive” not to prepare for aggression. He firmly rejected any possibility of regime change, calling Cuba a sovereign nation with the right to self-determination. Tensions have escalated amid a U.S. oil blockade that has worsened Cuba’s economic and energy crisis. The blockade followed U.S. moves against Venezuela, cutting off a key source of fuel for the island. Despite rhetoric, U.S. military officials say there are no current plans for an invasion of Cuba. The situation reflects a broader standoff, with ongoing talks between Washington and Havana but deep disagreements over policy and governance.
