The blockade in Cuba — explains journalist and researcher Rosa Miriam Elizalde — is not only economic and commercial, but also technological and communicative.

“Driven by blind hatred, entrenched criminality, and boundless brutality that has become inherent to its nature, the Israeli enemy today carried out a wave of massacres against civilians, targeting residential areas with dozens of violent airstrikes in the southern suburbs, Beirut, Sidon, the south, and the Bekaa, leaving hundreds of martyrs and wounded, including children, women, and the elderly.

While corporate outlets recycle Pentagon talking points about a “heroic rescue attempt,” after Iran devastated U.S. Military assets MintPress geoplitical analyst Robert Inlakesh helps answer the questions everyone is asking:
Why did Fox News accidentally admit hundreds of US special forces are already operating inside Iran? And how did Hezbollah’s cheap, commercially-available FPV drones just rewrite the rules of asymmetric warfare?
This isn’t just about one mission. It’s about the collapse of US air supremacy, Israel’s existential inability to fight on the ground, and the Gulf monarchies being positioned as cannon fodder for a war they didn’t choose.
