Pentagon Reviewing Possible Military Scenarios for Cuba
World
Reports that the Pentagon is examining possible military scenarios involving Cuba have drawn international attention. According to U.S. media, no final decision has been made, and Washington continues to discuss both military and diplomatic options.
According to CBS News, citing U.S. officials, the Department of Defense is reviewing several possible courses of action regarding Cuba, including a scenario involving the deployment of elements of the 101st Airborne Division. The sources stressed that the discussions remain preliminary and that no decision on any military operation has been taken.
The report says the discussions are linked to ongoing tensions between Washington and Havana. Earlier, U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth stated that Washington could consider a military response if Cuba were to acquire weapons capable of threatening U.S. national security. The reports also refer to intelligence assessments alleging that Cuba had obtained drones for potential use against U.S. facilities. These claims have not been officially confirmed.
Sources cited by CBS News said that a military operation appears unlikely in the near term. They noted that a significant share of Pentagon resources is currently committed elsewhere, while the U.S. administration continues to prioritize economic and diplomatic pressure.
In recent months, Washington has intensified sanctions against Havana, with U.S. officials repeatedly calling for political and economic reforms in Cuba. The Cuban government, meanwhile, has stated that it is prepared to defend the country's sovereignty and rejects external pressure.
