Tehran, May 26, 2026 – The Cuban Ambassador to Iran, Jorge Lefebre Nicolás, received at the Cuban Embassy in Tehran the head of the Iran-Cuba Parliamentary Friendship Group, Jalil Mokhtar, and Alaeddin Boroujerdi, a member of the Parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Committee. They were accompanied by several members of the group.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Iran strongly condemns the continued interference by the US ruling elite in Cuba’s internal affairs, the illegal sanctions, provocative actions, political pressure, and military threats against the country.
Cuba condemns the despicable accusation against the Leader of the Revolution
The Revolutionary Government condemns in the strongest terms the despicable accusation by the United States Department of Justice announced on May 20 and proclaimed for several weeks against Army General Raúl Castro Ruz, leader of the Cuban Revolution.
Note from the Ministry of the Interior
On the morning of February 25, 2026, a violating speedboat was detected within Cuban territorial waters. The vessel, registered in Florida, United States, with registration number FL7726SH, approached up to 1 nautical mile northeast of the El Pino channel, in Cayo Falcones, Corralillo municipality, Villa Clara province.
The measure adopted by the #US government on January 29, based on the fallacy of an alleged threat to the US national security, whereby it threatens to impose punitive tariffs on those countries that export fuel to #Cuba, poses a challenge of huge proportions to all States.
It is about limiting, through absurd pretexts, the sovereign prerogative of every country when deciding whether or not they would export and to what destinations they would export their national patrimonial products to.
