The re­cent mil­i­tary strike on Iran by the Unit­ed States and Is­rael has drawn sharp crit­i­cism from Cuban and Caribbean lead­ers, who warned of po­ten­tial vi­o­la­tions of in­ter­na­tion­al law and threats to re­gion­al sta­bil­i­ty.

The Cuban Am­bas­sador to Trinidad and To­ba­go, Gus­ta­vo Vél­iz Oli­vares, con­demned the at­tacks at a com­mem­o­ra­tion of Fi­del Cas­tro’s birth­day held at the OW­TU Lennox Pierre Hall, de­scrib­ing them as “ag­gres­sive” and a dan­ger­ous es­ca­la­tion with the po­ten­tial to trig­ger nu­clear con­flict.

“Cu­ba con­demns in the strongest terms this ag­gres­sion,” Vél­iz Oli­vares said.
