Why it matters:
The condemnation from Havana signals solidarity with Tehran from a fellow adversary of Washington at a critical moment. The Cuban government explicitly linked the military action to the ongoing diplomatic efforts regarding Iran's nuclear program, suggesting the attacks were deliberately timed to sabotage negotiations.
The big picture:
Cuba warns that such actions have "unpredictable consequences." By calling on the international community to mobilize immediately, Havana frames the strikes not as a bilateral issue but as a threat to the entire global order governed by the UN Charter.
What they're saying:
Both Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla and President Miguel Díaz Canel issued strong statements condemning the attacks and calling for urgent international action:
"Cuba condemns the attacks carried out by Israel and the United States against Iran, which occurred in violation of the national sovereignty and territorial integrity of that country. These attacks took place for the second time while dialogues on the nuclear issue were underway."
"These reckless acts undermine international peace and security and constitute a flagrant violation of international law and the UN Charter. The international community must mobilize to immediately stop this treacherous aggression."
President Díaz-Canel: "The international community must act immediately to stop this aggression and prevent an escalation of tensions, given its unpredictable consequences."
