Cuba condemns US sanctions on Venezuela and Iran following prior Venezuela criticism

Following his December 29 statement criticizing US military escalation and trade measures against Venezuela, Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla on December 31 condemned US sanctions on individuals and companies in both Venezuela and Iran, issuing the statement from Havana.

In this latest official release, Rodríguez rejected Washington's unilateral coercive measures, which target entities in Venezuela and Iran and exacerbate international tensions.

Emphasizing Cuba's solidarity with sovereign nations against external interference, the statement aligns with the island nation's consistent defense of self-determination in multilateral forums like the UN, where it has highlighted sanctions' detrimental effects on economic and social development.

This follows Cuba's recent UN Security Council denunciations and underscores its vocal opposition to US regional policies, including prior criticisms of actions undermining Venezuelan sovereignty.

Building on prior condemnations of specific incidents like the US attack on a Venezuelan oil tanker on December 11, Cuba has strongly condemned escalating US warmongering against Venezuela at the UN Security Council, threatening regional sovereignty and peace. Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla highlighted international concerns over US violations of international law.

Political leaders, parliamentarians, and international organizations have expressed solidarity with Cuba in response to President Donald Trump's recent executive order imposing sanctions to obstruct oil supplies to the island. This measure intensifies the over-six-decade economic blockade against Cuba, condemned annually by the UN General Assembly since 1992. Countries like Mexico, Russia, China, and Venezuela, along with multilateral groups, have rejected the action and offered support.
