New Delhi: Tension between America and Cuba appears to be increasing once again. According to American media reports, news has emerged that the Pentagon has started large-scale military deployment in the Caribbean region, which has intensified speculation of possible military action against Cuba. Along with this, it is being told that the US Army has strategically deployed warships, surveillance aircraft, drones and thousands of soldiers so that action can be taken in a short time if needed.

What things were deployed?

According to reports, the US Navy’s powerful USS Nimitz aircraft carrier strike group is an important part of this mission. Along with this, guided missile destroyers and cruisers have also been deployed. Apart from this, USS Kearsarge, a ship carrying about 2,500 marine soldiers, is also preparing to be sent to the area. During this time, American officials believe that this deployment has been done not only to create pressure but also to keep military options ready if needed.

Will be used if condition worsens

Former Pentagon official Mark Cancian said that the USS Nimitz’s presence may be primarily for warning but if the situation worsens, it can also be used in military operations. The report also said that a possible operation targeting Cuba’s air defense system and top leadership was also discussed.

threat to national security

Meanwhile, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has described Cuba as a threat to America’s national security. He says that Cuba’s relations with countries like China and Russia are a matter of concern for Washington. Although he also talked about a solution through dialogue, doubts are being raised about diplomacy with the current Cuban leadership.

Appeal for support of Cuba

On the other hand, Cuba has rejected these allegations. Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez Parilla sought intervention from the UN Security Council, saying US sanctions and military pressure could deepen the humanitarian crisis. He has appealed to the international community to stand in support of Cuba.

Let us tell you, Cuba is already facing a serious economic crisis. There is a problem of frequent power cuts along with shortage of food, medicines and fuel in the country. In such a situation, the situation is expected to worsen due to increasing American pressure.

the eyes of the world

On the other hand, President Donald Trump had also recently indicated that strict steps could be taken against Cuba. He said that many American Presidents have considered this issue but now perhaps he himself will have to take this decision. Talks also took place in recent months between senior Trump administration officials and Cuban representatives, but they did not yield any significant results.

Now the eyes of the whole world are fixed on the increasing tension between America and Cuba, because the impact of any military conflict will not be limited only to the two countries but can also affect the stability of the entire region.
