In a powerful display of solidarity, Iran and Cuba have pledged mutual support against what they describe as the U.S.' 'hostile' policies and sanctions. 🌐
On the sidelines of the 79th United Nations General Assembly in New York, Iranian Foreign Minister Seyyed Abbas Araghchi met with his Cuban counterpart, Bruno Rodriguez Parrilla. The duo discussed strengthening their bilateral ties and tackling regional and international issues of mutual interest. 🗺️
Araghchi slammed the U.S. for its 'unilateral and political' move to list Cuba as a so-called state sponsor of terrorism—a list that includes Iran, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), and Syria. He labeled this action as a continuation of Washington's 'hostile' policies. 🚫
'As victims of U.S. sanctions, we completely understand the struggles of the Cuban people,' Araghchi expressed, vowing Iran's support for Cuba in facing Washington's embargoes. 🇮🇷🇨🇺
Echoing this sentiment, Rodriguez Parrilla affirmed Cuba's backing for Iran against the U.S.'s aggressive stance. ✊
Both nations have faced U.S. sanctions for years and are boosting cooperation to counteract the embargoes. This alliance sends a clear message: they're standing strong together against external pressures. 💪
