The Government of Cuba reiterates its deep concern and warns of the imminent risk of escalation in the war between Israel and the Islamic Republic of Iran. There is a threat of direct U.S. aggression and danger that the conflict may turn nuclear or result in radioactive leaks, which would have dire and devastating consequences for humanity.
We call upon the American people and the international community to demand an immediate end to the military aggression against Iran, which is now in its seventh day. Given the potential involvement of the United States—whose financial, political, and military support for Israel, combined with threatening statements and the recent deployment of military assets in the region, acts as a destabilizing factor and represents a dangerous escalation of the conflict—we urge you to take action now.
Cuba reaffirms its solidarity with Iran and recalls the disastrous consequences of previous military interventions in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Libya. These interventions left a trail of chaos, violence, and insecurity in those nations and their surrounding regions.
We urgently call for peace through dialogue and negotiations without preconditions or coercion.
Cuba supports the declaration issued by the Non-Aligned Movement and urges the United Nations General Assembly and Security Council to fulfill their primary responsibility of maintaining international peace and security. They must immediately halt this aggression and end the impunity with which the Zionist regime operates. They must also work tirelessly to restore peace.
Israeli attacks on Iran’s peaceful nuclear facilities must cease immediately as they blatantly violate international law and harm civilians, breaching international humanitarian law.
The Cuban Embassy in Iran remains operational and is adhering to the necessary protective measures for exceptional situations while maintaining ongoing support for Cuban residents in Iran. Women and children from our diplomatic mission, along with three Cuban nationals residing in Tehran, were evacuated.
At this delicate moment in history, Cuba reaffirms that only a comprehensive, just, and lasting solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict will bring peace to the Middle East.
We must act with the urgency and determination that the moment demands. Tomorrow may be too late.
