The article claims tensions or pressure continued afterward, including a report that the U.S. is moving toward indicting Ra\u00fal Castro officials connected to the 1996 \u201cBrothers to the Rescue\u201d killings.<\/p>\n<p>in parallel, it describes reported increases in U.S. spy operations near Havana and Santiago de Cuba, and adds economic strain-such as a Canadian mining firm planning to dissolve its Cuban subsidiary due to U.S. sanctions. It also points to Cuba\u2019s claimed importance in \u201ccritical minerals,\u201d mentioning large nickel reserves and cobalt production potential, framing a free Cuba as aligned with U.S. national interests.<\/p>\n<p>it focuses on internal Cuban dissent: ongoing protests (including cacerolazos against shortages and repression), efforts to influence Cuban public opinion through diplomacy, pressure on the regime to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/thousands-of-russians-in-prague-take-to-the-streets-to-protest-against-war-in-ukraine\/\" title=\"Thousands of Russians in Prague Take to the Streets to Protest Against War in Ukraine\">release political prisoners<\/a>, and an example of a dissident reportedly moved from prison to the U.S. via a humanitarian visa. The piece closes by suggesting these combined pressures could eventually end what it portrays as a <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >long-standing tyranny maintained<\/a> by the regime\u2019s persistence.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>I first heard the term \u201cest\u00e1tica milagrosa\u201d (\u201cmiraculous stasis\u201d) from a friend of my wife. The young woman \u2014 an architect \u2014 had worked for an urban heritage conservation office in Cuba, and she marveled at how the mansions, buildings, cinemas, and theaters of the once-Parisian Havana refused to collapse.<\/p>\n<p>Humidity might burst the dowels within their columns; saltpeter might bloat the cement on their facades; a hurricane might rip away their doors and windows \u2014 yet the structures remained standing, defying the terror of skittish passersby.<\/p>\n<p>The Revolution turned Havana into a Pompeii of Salt. Ruins without a volcano. The volcano \u2014 red as the most vivid lava \u2014 was socialism. The city\u2019s miraculous stasis is mirrored in the very malady that has caused its impoverishment. Cuban socialism has misgoverned the country \u2014 and squandered its sugar and tourism industries \u2014 to such an extent that, although it should have collapsed years ago, its capacity to cling to power remains astonishing.<\/p>\n<p>Events between Cuba and the United States have taken a series of highly symbolic turns this May.<\/p>\n<p>On the 5th, Secretary of State Marco Rubio visited SOUTHCOM headquarters during a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/exclusive-former-defense-official-elbridge-colby-warns-china-could-invade-taiwan-in-two-years\/\" title=\"Exclusive: Former Defense Official Elbridge Colby Warns China Could Invade Taiwan in Two Years\">national security conference<\/a> in Miami, where he posed for a <a href=\"https:\/\/en.cibercuba.com\/noticias\/2026-05-05-u1-e208933-s27061-nid328198-marco-rubio-aparece-mapa-cuba-detras-reunion-clave\">photograph<\/a> in front of a map of the island while shaking hands with General Francis L. Donovan.<\/p>\n<p>On the 12th, he smiled for the camera once again. This time, aboard Air Force One, he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.infobae.com\/estados-unidos\/2026\/05\/13\/la-foto-de-marco-rubio-en-el-avion-presidencial-rumbo-a-china-con-el-chandal-que-llevaba-maduro-tras-su-captura\/?outputType=amp-type\">wore<\/a> a gray Nike tracksuit \u2014 remarkably similar to the one Nicol\u00e1s Maduro was wearing when he was extracted during the operation on January 3rd. Was he sending a warning to Ra\u00fal Castro regarding what would befall him should he refuse to negotiate a change in Cuba?<\/p>\n<p>Two days later, John Ratcliffe, the Director of the CIA, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dw.com\/es\/director-de-la-cia-se-re%C3%BAne-en-cuba-con-altos-funcionarios\/a-77164779\">arrived<\/a> in Havana for an unprecedented official visit. After years of accusing independent journalists like myself of being \u201cmercenaries paid by the CIA,\u201d the U.S. delegation was received by Interior Minister L\u00e1zaro Alberto \u00c1lvarez Casa and Intelligence Chief Ram\u00f3n Romero Curbelo.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Ratcliffe reportedly held talks with Ra\u00fal Guillermo Rodr\u00edguez, head of security and factotum to his 94-year-old grandfather, Ra\u00fal Castro, who holds the reins of the island.<\/p>\n<p>It appears that things did not go entirely smoothly during the talks, or perhaps Rubio simply wants no further delays from Havana. That very night, an administration official <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/us-moving-to-indict-cubas-raul-castro-officials-say\/?intcid=CNR-01-0623\">leaked<\/a> to major media outlets that the United States is moving toward indicting Castro in connection with the 1996 <a href=\"https:\/\/washingtonstand.com\/article\/let-justice-prevail-sylvia-iriondo-survivor-of-castro-attack-that-killed-americans\">massacre<\/a> of activists from Hermanos al Rescate (Brothers to the Rescue).<\/p>\n<p>Amidst all this, earlier in the month, widely circulated reports emerged regarding an increase in U.S. spy flights near Havana and Santiago de Cuba, the country\u2019s second-largest city. Since February, P-8A Poseidon and RC-135V Rivet Joint aircraft, as well as MQ-4C Triton drones, have reportedly conducted at least 25 intelligence-gathering flights.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, economic pressure continues to mount. The Canadian mining firm Sherritt, which had been operating in the eastern part of the island, is set to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberglinea.com\/2026\/05\/15\/sherritt-disolvera-su-empresa-minera-en-cuba-debido-a-las-sanciones-de-eeuu\/\">dissolve<\/a> its Cuban subsidiary due to sanctions imposed by Washington.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pubs.usgs.gov\/myb\/vol3\/2023\/myb3-2023-cuba.pdf\">According<\/a> to both the secretary of Interior and the U.S. Geological Survey, Cuba possesses one of the world\u2019s largest nickel reserves; moreover, in 2023, Cuba ranked as the world\u2019s seventh-largest producer of cobalt \u2014 a mineral critical for battery manufacturing. The geopolitical significance of these critical minerals provides yet another compelling reason why a free Cuba serves the national interest of the United States.<\/p>\n<p>On the domestic front, the diplomatic <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/permalink.php?story_fbid=pfbid023ytC2Bd4ACubwar3zpo38GsZ75r1PpaGrL7HR1QtGAAmv5frnTQwBafasR6jNcKsl&#038;id=100067921196845\">efforts<\/a> of Ambassador Mike Hammer continue to exert a positive influence on the public opinion of the average Cuban regarding the role of the United States in the current crisis, as well as the White House\u2019s support for those on the island who risk their safety to raise their voices in support of a new Cuba.<\/p>\n<p>If there is one issue that unites the entire spectrum of political opinion within the Cuban dissident movement, it is the liberation of political prisoners \u2014 a group that currently numbers well over a thousand. And the Trump administration is pressuring the Castro regime to carry out further prisoner releases.<\/p>\n<p>The departure of activist Sissi Abascal \u2014 escorted directly from prison to a flight that took her to the United States on a humanitarian visa \u2014 is the most recent example. It <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/vozdelafnca\/posts\/le-damos-la-bienvenida-a-tierras-de-libertad-a-sissi-abascal-zamora-reconocida-c\/1429946842496044\/\">occurred<\/a> shortly after USA Today published audio recordings of the high-profile political prisoners Maykel Osorbo and Luis Manuel Otero Alc\u00e1ntara, in which they describe receiving an ultimatum from the regime: leave Cuba or remain in prison.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the protests continue unabated \u2014 an extension of that \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=K9HyDX6sk0w\">Spring of Fire<\/a>\u201d which began in March and has filled neighborhoods across the country with the din of banging pots and pans. People are protesting with cacerolazos against power outages, medicine shortages, repression, and food scarcity.<\/p>\n<p>Will all of this momentum finally translate into the end of the \u201cmiraculous stasis\u201d (what Cubans view as a \u201ccursed stasis\u201d) that sustains the longest-running tyranny in the hemisphere? The Donroe Doctrine must take root in the heart of the Caribbean to affirm its hegemony \u2014 and to realign the destinies of millions on the island with the cause of freedom.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sc-4699d60d-0 sc-e5014824-0 cNYAfa glMUMD\">\n<p><em>Yoe Su\u00e1rez is The Washington Stand\u2019s international affairs correspondent.
