Iran-Cuba Parliamentary Friendship Group Condemns US Naval Blockade

The Iran-Cuba Parliamentary Friendship Group released a statement strongly condemning the United States' intensified efforts to impose a naval blockade on Cuba. The group described the move as a manifestation of the "arrogant and anti-human" nature of the United States, which has once again been exposed through such actions.

The statement asserted that the naval blockade constitutes a blatant violation of international norms and national sovereignty. It characterized the blockade as a continuation of a failed policy that has targeted the livelihood and health of the Cuban people for more than six decades.

Expressing full solidarity with the government and people of Cuba, the Iranian parliamentary group strongly condemned any attempt to block maritime routes and prevent the Cuban nation from accessing essential resources. The group described such actions as a crime against humanity that must end immediately and unconditionally.

The statement also praised the spirit and combat readiness of the Cuban people, noting that the mass registration of homeland defenders represented a shining example of "civilizational resistance" against economic terrorism.

Furthermore, the group called on parliaments and international institutions around the world not to remain silent in the face of unchecked US unilateralism. It urged efforts toward the complete lifting of all unjust sanctions imposed on Cuba.

Referring to Iran as a nation that has long stood on the front line against brutal US sanctions and international Zionism, the statement said the Iranian people stand courageously alongside the Cuban nation in this unequal struggle.

According to Mehr News Agency (MNA), the statement was issued by the Iran-Cuba Parliamentary Friendship Group.
