A social media post by the Russian Embassy in Cuba has drawn widespread attention after sharing comments from Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov that underscore Moscow's support for the island while avoiding any commitment to military involvement, even as tensions with Washington escalate.
The embassy circulated Lavrov's remarks in response to recent statements by the president, who said during a Miami event that "Cuba is next" after U.S. operations in Iran, before adding, "but pretend I didn't say that." The comments have fueled concerns about a potential expansion of U.S. pressure on Havana, including the possibility of military action.
