Iran Condemns US Sanctions on Cuba as “Antihuman and Illegal”
Spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei expressed Tehran’s solidarity with the Cuban government and people, denouncing the intensification of US economic pressure. He highlighted that the U.S. has maintained a blockade on Cuba for more than 64 years, causing significant human and material hardships and gross violations of fundamental rights.
Baghaei emphasized that these sanctions contravene the core principles of the United Nations Charter, including the Cuban people’s right to self-determination, national sovereignty, and freedom from foreign interference. He also warned that the U.S. must be held accountable for its ongoing violations, which, he said, amount to serious crimes against humanity.
If you like, I can also make a shorter, punchy version suitable for an international newswire, under 120 words, that emphasizes the condemnation and human rights aspect. Do you want me to do that?
