Cuba Calls on International Community to Pressurize Israel to Stop the Attack on Iran

The Cuban Government has reiterated deep concern and has raised an alert to the imminent risk of intensification of Israel’s war against the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Cuba called for the urgent mobilization of the international community to stop the Zionist military escalation and a direct attack by the United States against Iran
It also raised an alarm over the implication and threat of a direct attack by the United States and the danger that the conflict could go nuclear or that radioactive leaks may occur with disastrous and devastating consequences for humanity.
The Cuban Government in a statement by
the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said: “We call upon the American people and the international community to demand the immediate end of the military aggression against Iran, which has entered its seventh day today, in view of an eventual involvement of the United States Government, whose financial, political and military support to Israel, threatening statements and the recent deployment of means of warfare in the region, is acting as a destabilizing factor and represents a dangerous escalation of the conflict.”
Cuba further reiterated its full solidarity with the Islamic Republic of Iran and recalled the disastrous consequences of previous military interventions in Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya, leaving a trail of chaos, violence and insecurity in those countries and in the regional environment.
The statement further read: “We make an urgent call to achieve peace through dialogue and negotiations without preconditions or pressure.
“Cuba supports the Statement issued by the Non-Aligned Movement and urges the United Nations General Assembly and Security Council to exercise their primary responsibility to maintain international peace and security; put an immediate end to this aggression, the impunity with which the Zionist regime is acting and work tirelessly to restore peace.
“An end must be put to Israel’s attacks against Iran’s peaceful nuclear facilities, in flagrant violation of International Law, and harm to civilians, in breach of International Humanitarian Law.
“The Cuban Embassy in Iran remains operational while observing the necessary safety measures for exceptional situations and providing continued service to Iran resident Cubans. Women and children were evacuated from our Embassy, together with three Cuban nationals living in Teheran.
Cuba reiterates, at this delicate moment in history, that only a comprehensive, fair and lasting solution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict will bring peace to the Middle-East region.
“We must act with the urgency and determination required by this moment. Tomorrow will be too late.”

Boko Haram leader Bakoura denies report of his death in Niger airstrikes
By: Zagazola Makama
Boko Haram Leader, Ibrahim Bakoura Doro, alias Abu Oumaimah, has denied reports by the Government of Niger Republic that he was killed in recent military operations in the country’s Diffa region.
The Nigerien Armed Forces (FAN) had, on Friday, announced that Bakoura was eliminated alongside several insurgent commanders during precision airstrikes carried out on Aug. 15 in Korongol, Kournawa and Shilawa.
The strikes, according to FAN, destroyed Boko Haram logistical bases, neutralised dozens of fighters and eliminated high-ranking commanders, including Bakoura, described as a central figure in the group’s hierarchy.
The operation was celebrated as a major success, with Niger’s Head of State, Gen. Abdurahamane Tiani, identifying Bakoura as one of the key actors allegedly involved in attempts to destabilise the country.
However, in an intercepted communication obtained by security sources on Saturday , Bakoura dismissed the report of his death as false.
He was heard telling his commanders that he saw the news of his “killing” on social media, as announced by Niger Republic and circulated by conflict analyst Zagazola Makama.
While admitting that the airstrikes indeed took place, he insisted that he was not among those killed.

The Government of Niger Republic says its armed forces have allegedly killed a senior Boko Haram leader, Ibrahim Bakoura, also known as Abu Oumaima, during a military operation in the country’s Diffa region.
Nigerien Armed Forces (FAN), disclosed this in a statement released on Tuesday, saying the operation was carried out on Aug. 15 through a series of precision airstrikes targeting Boko Haram positions in Korongol, Kournawa and Shilawa.
The strikes reportedly neutralised dozens of fighters, destroyed logistical supplies and eliminated high-ranking commanders, including Bakoura, who was described as a central figure in the faction’s hierarchy.
Nigerien authorities said the successful operation reaffirmed their commitment to defending the country’s sovereignty and securing its territory against persistent terrorist threats.
Army General Abdurahamane Tiani, Niger’s Head of State, had earlier identified Bakoura as one of the key actors allegedly involved in attempts to destabilise the country.
However, independent verification of Bakoura’s death has not been established. Conflict analyst Zagazola Makama noted that the claim could not be independently verified, but stressed that if confirmed, it would mark a major victory for counterterrorism operations in the Sahel.
Security experts believe the alleged killing of Bakoura, who has long been associated with Jama’at Ahl al-Sunna li al-Da’wa wa al-Jihad (Boko Haram), would represent both a symbolic and operational blow to the insurgents across the Lake Chad Basin.
Niger remains a frontline state in the regional fight against terrorism, despite its withdrawal from the Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF), its often collaborating with Nigeria, Chad and Cameroon under a bilateral engagement.
