Statement from Cubans residing in Iran. Together for Cuba.

 

Through this declaration, we Cubans residing in the Islamic Republic of Iran wish to make clear our total rejection of the actions from the United States that seek to politically and socially destabilize Cuba.

We strongly reject interference in the internal affairs of our country and the use of paid mercenaries who openly advocate a resurgence of the Blockade, and even support a military intervention by the United States.

As patriots, we recognize that the future of our country must be in the hands of its people, and that the settlement of any contradiction and disagreement must be within the framework of respect, harmony and decency. We reject hatred and calls to violence promoted by individuals who do not represent the majority of Cubans residing abroad and respond to the interests of the country that for more than 60 years has been the main responsible for the hardships suffered by our people.

These are times for unity among Cubans inside and outside the island, for the defense of the achievements made by our country in so many years of struggle for self-determination and work to build a nation that is more just and prosperous every day. We declare that no foreign campaign to discredit our country and our people will ever have the support of true patriotic Cubans, who under no circumstances will allow our nation and its symbols to be sullied.
