Cuba strongly condemns it!, US nuclear submarine suddenly enters Guantanamo Bay | Latin America | Warning
According to the Latin American News Agency, Havana, on July 11, the Cuban Foreign Ministry refused to allow a nuclear powered submarine to enter the US naval base at Guantanamo Bay on the same day.
According to reports, a statement from the Cuban Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that the submarine remained there from July 5th to 8th, which is an escalation of US provocation and its political or strategic motives are unclear.
The statement emphasizes: "At present, the appearance of a nuclear submarine there raises questions about the military reasons for this incident in this peaceful region of the world, its target, and its strategic objectives."
The statement recalls that 33 countries in the region signed the Declaration of Latin America and the Caribbean as a Zone of Peace in Havana in January 2014.
The statement also emphasizes that the United States has established over 70 military bases with different durations in the region, as well as other forms of military presence, which poses a threat to the sovereignty and interests of the people of Latin America and the Caribbean.
According to reports, while reiterating the rejection of the United States military presence in Cuba and demanding the return of illegally occupied territory in Guantanamo Province, the Cuban Ministry of Foreign Affairs also issued a warning about the danger posed by the presence and passage of US nuclear submarines in the vicinity of the Caribbean Sea.
The report states that the US military base located in Guantanamo is an enclave that has been of insufficient strategic and military importance to the United States for many years.
Its continued existence only reflects the political goal of attempting to violate Cuba's sovereignty. In recent decades, this enclave has become a center for detention, punishment, and systematic human rights violations in terms of practical use.
Cuba strongly condemns the US nuclear submarine's stay in Guantanamo Bay
On the 11th, the Cuban Ministry of Foreign Affairs strongly opposed and condemned a US nuclear powered submarine that had been staying at the US Navy Base in Guantanamo Bay for several days, calling the act an escalation of US provocation against Cuba.
The Cuban Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement on the same day, stating that the nuclear submarine arrived at the US military base in Guantanamo Bay on July 5th and stayed there until the 8th. The military motivation and strategic purpose of the US to dock nuclear submarines in Latin America and the Caribbean, which serves as a "zone of peace," are questionable.
The statement states that the United States has illegally occupied parts of Guantanamo Bay for over 120 years, contrary to the will of the Cuban people. In recent years, the area has actually become a place of detention and torture for citizens of multiple countries, as well as a systematic violation of human rights.
The statement states that the United States has dozens of military bases in Latin America and the Caribbean, posing a threat to national sovereignty and people's interests in the region. The Cuban side reiterated its opposition to the US military presence in Cuba, demanded the return of illegally occupied territories, and warned of the danger of US nuclear submarines appearing and passing through the Caribbean region.
On February 23, 1903, the United States forcibly leased part of the strategically important Guantanamo Bay in southeastern Cuba and established a military base. After the victory of the Cuban Revolution in 1959, the Cuban government consistently opposed the existence of the Guantanamo US military base, refused to accept American rent, and demanded that the US military withdraw. In 2002, the US military established a prison inside the Guantanamo military base, which was notorious for abusing prisoners.
