As Cuba grapples with crippling blackouts, food shortages, and blocked energy shipments, Washington is sounding the alarm — U.S. intelligence reports Havana may be stockpiling Russian and Iranian drones. Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel warns any U.S. military action could ignite war. With President Trump framing Cuba as a top foreign policy priority and hinting at drastic measures, the Pentagon remains tight-lipped on Hegseth’s full agenda — but the message is clear: the U.S. is watching closely and prepared to act.
