“The United States government is waging a multidimensional, unconventional war that has lasted nearly seven decades and has become more brutal and ruthless in the last seven months,” he stated on the social media platform X.

He also denounced the addition of an energy blockade, which is tantamount to a naval blockade and an act of war. “Access to fuel supplies for Cuba—whether commercial or humanitarian—is being blocked through direct threats, unilateral coercive measures, and even the harassment or intimidation of oil tankers by the United States,” Rodríguez added.

The island’s Foreign Minister reiterated concerns regarding frequent threats of military aggression from the highest levels of the US government, as well as public reports detailing military options and preparations.

The Cuban representative added that the blockade is now compounded by unprecedented actions of extreme extraterritorial reach and the use of secondary sanctions.

These measures follow a macabre plan to destabilize Cuba, trigger a humanitarian crisis, and pave the way for an imperialist military intervention that would result in a bloodbath and massive loss of life for both Cubans and Americans.

“The US blockade is a threat; not Cuba,” he concluded.
