The Cuban Ministry of Foreign Affairs has issued a stern condemnation of military operations conducted by the United States and Israel against Iranian territory on February 28, 2026. In an official statement released from Havana, Cuban authorities characterized the attacks as a severe violation of Iran’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, asserting they represent a flagrant breach of both the United Nations Charter and established international legal standards.
According to the Cuban government, this calculated aggression marks the second instance where diplomatic progress on nuclear negotiations has been deliberately undermined by external military action. The statement emphasizes that these operations pose grave dangers to regional and international peace, with immediate destabilizing effects already manifesting across the Middle East.
Cuba has aligned itself with global appeals demanding an immediate cessation of hostilities, noting the attacks have resulted in unspecified civilian casualties, including children. The Caribbean nation warned against further escalation driven by hegemonic interests and military domination strategies that risk drawing additional regional actors into the conflict with unforeseeable consequences.
The statement advocates for upholding fundamental principles of international law, including sovereign equality of states, non-interference in internal affairs, and the prohibition of force against territorial integrity. Cuba specifically called for enhanced diplomatic neighborliness between Iran and Arab states during this critical juncture.
Cuba urged the United Nations Security Council to fulfill its primary responsibility for maintaining international peace and security, while simultaneously requesting the UN General Assembly to mobilize global efforts toward peace restoration with urgent determination. The statement concludes by reaffirming Cuba’s commitment to multilateral diplomacy and peaceful conflict resolution.
