Cuba calls for an end to the new aggression by the United States and Israel against Iran and to prevent an escalation in the Middle East
Cuba condemns in the strongest terms the attacks perpetrated on February 28 by the United States and Israel, which violate the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Islamic Republic of Iran, in flagrant violation of the Charter of the United Nations and international law.
This irresponsible and deliberate aggression boycotts, for the second time, the efforts of international diplomacy in relation to the nuclear issue, which had been under negotiation. Once again, the United States and Israel threaten and seriously endanger regional and international peace, stability, and security, the effects of which are already being felt in the Middle East region.
Cuba joins the international calls to immediately stop this aggression, which has caused an unknown number of civilian casualties, including children, and to prevent an escalation promoted by known hegemonic interests and declared intentions of domination through the use of military force that would drag other countries in the region into the conflict, with unpredictable consequences. Cuba also advocates for preserving the principle of good neighborliness between Iran and the Arab States at this delicate moment.
Strict respect for the principles of international law and the UN Charter must prevail, in particular the sovereign equality of States, non-interference in their internal affairs, the prohibition of the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any State, and the peaceful settlement of disputes.
It is urgent that the United Nations Security Council exercise its primary responsibility for maintaining international peace and security, and that the UN General Assembly mobilize the international community to restore peace with the urgency and determination that the moment demands.
