Note from the Ministry of the Interior:

On the morning of February 25, 2026, a violating speedboat was detected within Cuban territorial waters. The vessel, registered in Florida, United States, with registration number FL7726SH, approached up to 1 nautical mile northeast of the El Pino channel, in Cayo Falcones, Corralillo municipality, Villa Clara province.

When a surface unit of the Border Guard Troops of the Ministry of the Interior, carrying five service members, approached the vessel for identification, the crew of the violating speedboat opened fire on the Cuban personnel, resulting in the injury of the commander of the Cuban vessel.

As a consequence of the confrontation, as of the time of this report, four aggressors on the foreign vessel were killed and six were injured. The injured individuals were evacuated and received medical assistance.

In the face of current challenges, Cuba reaffirms its determination to protect its territorial waters, based on the principle that national defense is a fundamental pillar of the Cuban State in safeguarding its sovereignty and ensuring stability in the region.

Investigations by the competent authorities continue in order to fully clarify the events.

"began supporting the deployment [and] operation of about 200 Starlinks early on" amid the violence which swept through Iran last month.

"You know what, I’m going to interrupt you – we’d better not talk about it."

"What we're seeing today, the Endowment has been making investments over years that have ensured that there have been secure communications, including Starlinks… that allowed information to go both in and out of the country," he stated.

"Everyone should know that Iran poses a very grave threat to the United States and has for a very long time."

(...) After their nuclear program was obliterated, they were told not to restart it but here they are trying to rebuild elements of it. They're not enriching right now but they want to get to the point where they can.

Iran possesses a very large number of ballistic missiles, particularly short range ballistic missiles that threaten the United States and our bases in the region and our partners in the region (...)

Beyond the nuclear program, Iran possesses conventional weapons designed to attack America"

Iran refuses to talk about the ballistic missiles.

That is a big problem.

They are trying to achieve intercontinental ballistic missiles. For example, you’ve seen them try to launch satellites into space.

They are headed on a pathway to one day being able to develop weapons that could reach the continental US.

They already possess weapons that could reach much of Europe, already now as we speak.

They are facing sanctions, their economy is in tatters, their people are suffering, and somehow they still find the money to invest in missiles of greater and greater capacity every year.

This is an unsustainable threat.

In a world where antisemitism is rising, India stands out as a civilization where Jews were never persecuted by the state — only welcomed.

We don't forget that. Thank you, India.

We feel your pain. We share your grief.

India stands with Israel, firmly and with full conviction at this moment and beyond.

There is a great admiration for Israel's resolve, courage and achievements.

Long before we related to each other, as modern states, we were linked by ties that go back more than 2,000 years.
