Pentagon Reviewing Military Options for Cuba as US Escalates Pressure

CBS News reported the Pentagon is reviewing military options for Cuba, though no operation has been decided. The review sits within a broader Trump administration campaign: an oil blockade, sanctions, and explicit military-intervention threats. Cuba's economy is buckling — tourism fell nearly 60% through May 2026. Russia and China have condemned the US indictment of Raúl Castro, widening the standoff's geopolitical reach.
