US President Donald Trump said Monday that his government is investigating whether Iran is storing drones in Cuba. Trump warned that Washington would act if such a presence on the island were confirmed, though he presented the matter as a hypothesis that has not yet been proven.
The remarks come amid growing concern over how tension between Iran and the United States could spread into new regional dimensions. Cuba, a country with historically strained relations with Washington, could become a sensitive security issue for the US if the allegation is confirmed.
The Trump administration offered no concrete evidence and gave no details on the stage of the investigation. Observers in the region are closely watching whether the claim will be substantiated and what form any US response might take.
