Hundreds of Cubans gathered in Havana to mark the 65th anniversary of #FidelCastro’s declaration of the #socialist character of the Cuban Revolution.

Iván Domínguez Rivera, sugar industry #union leader, described the event as an affirmation of national unity at a time of economic hardship and renewed threats from Washington.

Participants also condemned the U.S. government’s #EconomicWarfare, intensified in recent months by fuel restrictions that have deepened shortages across the island.

“No threat will prevent the unity of these people,” Domínguez said.

For more than six decades, #US policy toward #Cuba has relied on #EconomicWarfare instead of diplomacy. The US claims to target the #Cuban government but ends up hurting the lives of millions of civilians.

Int'l law expert Alfred de Zayas speaks to BotB on #Trump’s latest executive order, which allows him to slap tariffs on any country that ships #oil to Cuba, and how the policy violates #InternationalLaw. He explains the difference between #sanctions and unilateral coercive measures, and how the devastating measures are really a form of collective punishment.

“We are witnessing an assault on the #UN Charter, on international law, and on civilization itself,” warns Professor Alfred de Zayas.

Trump Announces Immediate US Navy Blockade of Strait of Hormuz
U.S. President Donald Trump has declared an immediate naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. According to his statement, the United States Navy has been ordered to halt any vessel attempting to transit the critical waterway. Trump indicated that recent talks with Iran progressed well on numerous issues, but a resolution on the nuclear dossier was not achieved. The announcement frames the blockade as a direct response to this diplomatic impasse. The U.S. Navy has been commanded to enforce the maritime closure without delay.
