Senior Pentagon officials are exploring military options concerning Cuba as the U.S.-Iran conflict resumes following a ceasefire. Discussions have included a potential Army-led air assault involving the 101st Airborne Division, which is uniquely trained for such operations. However, officials stress that no decision has been made regarding military action. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has highlighted a preference for diplomatic solutions aimed at transitioning to a new government in Cuba, which has faced increasing financial pressure. The U.S. military has recently shifted resources to the Middle East to support operations against Iran, making a focus on Cuba less likely at this time. Additionally, U.S. intelligence assessments indicate that Cuba is viewed more as a facilitator for geopolitical competitors rather than a direct threat. The Pentagon has not commented on hypothetical military operations.
