The Iranian Foreign Ministry praised the rapport between the people and government of Cuba, saying that such relation resulted in the failure of a US plot to foment unrest in the Latin American country.
In a statement released on Tuesday, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Saeed Khatibzadeh hailed the valuable solidarity between the Cuban government and nation that “defeated the US plans to provoke countrywide unrest in Cuba.”
He also condemned what he described as US’ brazen interference in the internal affairs of independent and freedom-seeking nations, including Cuba, calling for an immediate end to the unilateral economic and financial sanctions that Washington has imposed on Havana.
“Those (US) sanctions have been imposed with the purpose of creating dissatisfaction among people, and while the United States is the root cause of the predicaments and livelihood problems of the Cuban people, it is portraying itself as the supporter of unrest in that country and has sought to blatantly interfere in the internal affairs of the Republic of Cuba with clear violation of the internationally stipulated law,” the spokesman added, as quoted by Tasnim news agency.
Expressing Iran’s solidarity with Cuba, Khatibzadeh denounced the US sanctions as illegal and the main reason for the economic and livelihood troubles in Cuba.
“If the US is sincere in its claim of supporting the people of Cuba, it must end the illegitimate economic and financial sanctions that have been in place against Cuba for more than six decades,” the Iranian spokesman added.
