The Cuban journalist Mario J. Pentón alerted this Monday about a publication from the official blog La Tizza, linked to ideological sectors close to the Cuban regime, which issues direct threats against the United States amid rising bilateral tension.
“A blog from the State Security of the Cuban regime openly threatening the U.S., ‘from Miami to Key West’. Take note,” wrote Pentón on the social media platform X, tagging the U.S. Southern Command, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and several Cuban-American congressmen.
The text published by La Tizza, titled 'The Antillean Heart of Cuba', was released just hours after Axios revealed U.S. intelligence on a supposed aquisition of military drones from Iran and Russia by Havana.
In the article, the official site asserts that Cuba has the right to equip itself "with the arms it deems necessary for its defense" and accuses Washington of fabricating historical pretexts to justify military interventions.
However, the fragment that has generated the most controversy is an explicit warning directed at U.S. territories and those who support actions against the Cuban regime.
“ We calmly and responsibly warn that anyone who provides logistical, operational, media, communication, or any other type of support against the Cuban people becomes a legitimate target, from Miami to Key West and any other neighboring territory,” the text states.
The publication also makes references to “an unprecedented bloodbath” in the event of an aggression and asserts the regime's right to respond militarily.
The statements come at a particularly sensitive time for relations between Washington and Havana. In recent days, U.S. officials have expressed concern about the growing military cooperation of Cuba with Iran and Russia, as well as the alleged development of drone capabilities on the island.
The site La Tizza is known for publishing hardline political content and for defending positions aligned with the official discourse of the Cuban regime on issues of security, foreign policy, and internal opposition.
The digital medium is defined as "a place to think and do socialism from Cuba," as well as a "thought platform to debate the project of the Cuban Revolution, its relationship with today's political practices, and its necessary futures."
References to Miami and Key West have caused concern among sectors of the Cuban exile community and social media users, especially amidst the current climate of political confrontation between the two countries.
