In Cuba, former president Fidel Castro addressed the Cuban National Assembly on Saturday for the first time in four years. He focused much of the speech on the threat of nuclear war. Castro warned that US pressure against Iran could trigger a devastating nuclear conflict.

Fidel Castro: “The United States would be ordering the instant death not just of hundreds of millions of people — amongst them, an incalculable number of residents of their own country — but also of the crew members of all the United States’ naval ships in the waters around Iran.”
