Iran says the recent major US policy shift to restore diplomatic relations with Cuba invalidates Washington’s decades-old strategy of sanctions and isolation. Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Marzieh Afkham said Saturday that Cuba’s resistance over the past 54 years since the country’s revolution has “proved that the policy of isolation and sanctions pursued by domineering powers against the will and resistance of independent nations and governments is fruitless and ineffective.”
Pointing to the US acknowledgement that isolating Cuba had been ineffective, the Iranian official said the recent development surrounding Washington-Havana relations could be a step toward decreasing tensions in the region.
