Iran's Foreign Ministry has strongly condemned the
#US' provocative interference in Cuba's internal affairs and its military threats.
The statement stressed that the US economic and trade embargoes imposed since 1960 constitute a direct violation of
#Cuba’s sovereignty and the UN Charter, particularly the right to self-determination.
The ministry noted that "these measures have led to gross violations of the human rights of the Cuban people and inflicted widespread economic damage."
In particularly forceful language, Iran stressed that "the illegal and inhumane US sanctions against Cuba over the past 66 years, which stand as the longest-running sanctions regime against any nation, amount to a crime against humanity due to their sweeping impact on the human rights of the Cuban population."
"The US government must be held accountable for committing these crimes," the statement emphasized.
The statement also criticized recent US escalation, including attempts to tighten sanctions and impose a naval blockade on Cuba, alongside "provocative and baseless allegations," aimed at "intimidating and blackmailing the Cuban government."
Concluding its statement,
#Iran's Foreign Ministry reaffirmed Iran’s full solidarity with Cuba and the people of Cuba and insisted that "the will of nations to protect their independence and national dignity cannot be broken by sanctions and threats."
It further "reiterated the urgent need to respect national sovereignty, uphold the principle of non-interference in the internal affairs of sovereign states, and bring an immediate end to unilateral coercive measures against developing countries."
