Cuba warns of 'bloodbath' if US attacks; Washington adds sanctions

Tensions between Cuba and the United States have escalated following reports that Havana has acquired over 300 military drones from Russia and Iran. In response, the US Treasury imposed new sanctions on Cuba’s main intelligence agency, nine Cuban nationals, and several senior Communist Party officials and generals. Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel warned that a US attack would result in a "bloodbath," asserting Cuba’s right to self-defence. The diplomatic friction occurs against a backdrop of severe economic strain in Cuba, driven by an oil blockade and halted Venezuelan shipments, which has led to significant energy crises and blackouts. Concurrently, the Trump administration is reportedly seeking to indict former President Raul Castro, while CIA Director John Ratcliffe recently visited Havana for negotiations.
