Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel has announced that while Cuba seeks peace, it is prepared to defend against possible military aggression from the United States. This statement was made during a rally celebrating the 65th anniversary of defining the Cuban Revolution's socialist essence.

Díaz-Canel highlighted the ongoing tensions between Cuba and the United States, exacerbated by a US energy blockade causing economic hardships on the island. He condemned the US narratives labeling Cuba as a 'failing nation' and accused the US of multidimensional aggression, including economic warfare and the intensification of blockades.

Furthermore, Díaz-Canel recalled the revolution's achievements, particularly in education, despite recent emigration pressures due to the crisis. The president warned of a potential humanitarian crisis due to worsened living conditions, including prolonged blackouts, as US sanctions continue to tighten.
