In the other US target of regime change, Cuba, I saw real hardship – and resilience | Sara Kozameh

Trump is choking off oil imports to the communist nation, plunging it into a crisis not seen since the fall of USSR

On 29 January this year, after the kidnapping of Venezuela’s Nicolás Maduro but before the assassination of Iran’s Ayatollah Khamenei, President Trump turned his attention to another country. He issued an executive order declaring a national emergency against the government of Cuba, ruling it an “unusual and extraordinary threat” to the United States and threatening to impose tariffs to stop ships from carrying petroleum to Cuba. It was an evident bid for regime change.

The actions to deny oil to Cuba have severely exacerbated a growing crisis on the island, with even some US congressional representatives denouncing the measures. Cuba produces about one-third of its own oil needs and imports the rest – mostly from Venezuela and Mexico. After the US attack on Venezuela and the tariff threat, both countries completely halted oil exports to Cuba. Since early February, the length of daily power outages has doubled, lasting about 18 hours a day.

Iran goes ‘full dynasty’ with choice of new supreme leader

Iran named Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, a son of the country's late supreme leader, the Islamic Republic’s new ruler on Monday. Rouzbeh Parsi from Sweden’s Lund University said the choice of "going full dynasty" was not surprising, even for a regime that overthrew the Pahlavi monarchy in 1979 since "revolutions tend to replace what they destroyed with something very similar".
