Cuba warns of ‘bloodbath’ if US attacks; Washington adds sanctions

Cuba's leader, Miguel Diaz-Canel, warned of a "bloodbath" if the United States attacks, asserting Cuba's right to self-defense. This statement follows a report by Axios, citing U.S. intelligence officials, that Havana has acquired over 300 military drones from Russia and Iran and is considering using them against U.S. targets. In response to escalating tensions and amid speculation of potential U.S. military action to overthrow Cuba's government, the U.S. Treasury Department has sanctioned Cuba's primary intelligence agency and its top leaders.
