The Revolutionary Government denounces the escalation of actions by the United States government to justify military aggression against the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.
The accumulation and increase of military resources and personnel in the Caribbean Sea, the use of force to attack civilian vessels and kill their crews, and the unjustified interception and detention of a ship, in violation of international norms, confirm the hostile and irresponsible nature of the ongoing operation.
Added to this is the dissemination of psychological warfare messages by the U.S. government in an attempt to legitimize these actions in the eyes of public opinion under the crude pretext that Venezuela represents a threat to U.S. national security and the well-being of its citizens.
The U.S. Secretary of State, congressmen, and senators, who are also responsible for the current genocidal escalation in Gaza, are attempting to impose their interests by force in Venezuela, which is unjustifiable and dangerous.
The real objective of these actions is to take control of Venezuela's oil and resources.
Cuba has repeatedly warned that the deployment of U.S. military forces in the Caribbean Sea in recent weeks constitutes an act of provocation and is intended to trigger a military conflict that would force the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela to defend its sovereignty and territorial integrity.
A direct military aggression against Venezuela would have incalculable consequences for the peace, stability, and security of Our America.
No government can be allowed to resort to the threat or use of force in contravention of the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations and international law.
It is urgent to separate lies from reality.
Cuba urges international mobilization to prevent aggression and preserve Latin America and the Caribbean as a Zone of Peace, as proclaimed by its heads of state and government.
Havana, September 18, 2025.
