Cuban opposition leader José Daniel Ferrer urged Miguel Díaz-Canel to step down following the U.S. attack on Iran.
"I told you and I repeat it, Díaz-Canel: After Iran, the sadistic criminals will come for you. But I’ll tell you more, they might come for you before you put an end to the Iranian fundamentalists. Trump has enough capacity to eliminate hyenas in several places at once. You should leave for Russia now; it’s preferable for you than to run like Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is running now,"
This Saturday, the President of the United States, Donald Trump, announced that the U.S. military has begun "large-scale combat operations in Iran" in coordination with Israel, marking a significant military escalation in the Middle East.
In a video message posted on his Truth Social network, Trump stated that the operation aims to "defend the American people by eliminating imminent threats from the Iranian regime."
The massive attacks launched by Israel and the United States against Iran have resulted in what could be the most significant blow to the power structure of the Islamic Republic since its founding in 1979. While explosions continue to shake Tehran and other Iranian cities, initial intelligence assessments reveal a devastating toll for the regime's leadership.
According to Reuters, citing three independent sources —two familiar with Israeli military operations and one regional source— the Iranian Minister of Defense, Amir Nasirzadeh, and the commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), General Mohammad Pakpour, have been killed. This information has been corroborated by Axios, Times of Israel and Asharq Al-Awsat.
