Claims circulating online suggest that Cuba is discussing plans to attack the United States and Caribbean nations using drones supplied by Russia and Iran. However, a thorough search of credible news sources, government statements, and intelligence reports as of May 17, 2026, found no verifiable evidence to support these allegations.
Neither the U.S. Department of Defense, the Cuban government, nor any major international news outlet has reported such discussions. The claims appear to originate from unverified social media posts and have not been corroborated by official channels.
Experts on U.S.-Cuba relations note that while Cuba has received some economic and technical assistance from Russia and Iran, there is no indication of any offensive military cooperation involving drones. The allegations are likely part of disinformation campaigns aimed at escalating tensions.
