US Deploys Aircraft Carrier Strike Group to Caribbean Amid Cuba Tensions
The US military announced Wednesday that the USS Nimitz Carrier Strike Group has arrived in the Caribbean amid heightened tensions between the United States and Cuba.
“The aircraft carrier USS Nimitz (CVN 68), the embarked Carrier Air Wing 17 (CVW-17), USS Gridley (DDG 101) and USNS Patuxent (T-AO 201) are the epitome of readiness and presence, unmatched reach and lethality, and strategic advantage,” the US Southern Command said in a statement posted on X.It added that the USS Nimitz “has proven its combat prowess across the globe, ensuring stability and defending democracy from the Taiwan Strait to the Arabian Gulf".CBS News reported Wednesday the US intelligence community is analyzing how Cuba might respond to potential American military action as tensions between Washington and Havana continue to escalate. US President Donald Trump has repeatedly stated that Cuba is “next” following the military operation against Iran and has claimed that the communist-run island nation would fall “soon".Cuban President Miguel Daaz-Canel stressed earlier this week that Cuba has the “absolute and legitimate right" to defend itself against any military attack, warning such an action would cause “a bloodbath with incalculable consequences".
