US slaps new sanctions on Cuba
The US hit Cuban state companies Tuesday with new sanctions that analysts say are expected to spook foreign investors and deepen a severe economic crisis. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the sanctions target five Cuban entities, including three linked to Grupo de Administracion Empresarial S.A., a business conglomerate run by Cuba’s Revolutionary Armed Forces. Best known as GAESA , it is believed to command nearly 40 percent of Cuba's gross domestic product. As of early 2024, it held 14.

‘Reducing Iran's oil exports to zero; A wish that never came true’
TEHRAN- The admission of the ineffectiveness of oil sanctions against Iran comes after the signing of the memorandum of understanding ending the war between America and the Zionist regime against Iran, voiced by American officials. This follows Mohsen Paknejad, the oil minister, having previously responded decisively to Donald Trump's maximum pressure order aimed at reducing Iran's oil exports to zero, declaring that America's maximum pressure policy on Iran's oil exports has failed and that reducing Iran's oil exports to zero is a wish they will never achieve.

US in ‘weaker position’ as Iran drags out talks
Former foreign minister Alexander Downer claims the United States has got itself into a “weaker position” now as negotiations with Iran continue. “It’s a longstanding tactic of the Iranian regime to extend negotiations for as long as they possibly can,” Mr Downer told Sky News host Chris Kenny. “Where they [US] had real leverage over the Iranians was not just their superior military, but the way they were able to blockade Iranian ports. “That was having a devastating effect not only on the Iranian economy but on the revenue of the IRGC.”

Cuba slams new US sanctions against state-run firms
Cuba on Tuesday denounced the latest sanctions imposed by the United States on five Cuban state-owned entities and a member of the extended family of former Cuban President Raul Castro, arguing the measures aim to further harm the economy, reported Xinhua. The U.S. government, led by its dishonest and mendacious Secretary of State (Marco Rubio), continues to take steps to tighten the noose around Cuba's economy, Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez said on X, referring to the sanctions Washington announced earlier in the day. These sanctions came as Cuba has proven to be stronger, more capable, and more effective than he expected in the face of the ruthless aggression and collective punishment against the people and their living conditions, said Rodriguez, adding that what this individual is pushing for from the world's greatest power is a crime. The sanctions target five Cuban state-owned entities, three of which are linked to the conglomerate Grupo de Administracion Empresarial S.A. and two are related to the mining and metallurgical sectors, according to a fact sheet published Tuesday by the U.S. Department of State.

— NEW: The Trump administration may lack legal standing to waive US sanctions on Iranian oil under last week’s agreement, but is moving ahead regardless, Semafor reports. The Obama-era Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act bars the president from waiving Iran sanctions while Congress reviews any nuclear-related agreement. Trump’s Office of Legal Counsel drafted a memo concluding sanctions can be temporarily lifted without Congress, per VP JD Vance. Harvard Law’s Jack Goldsmith says the administration likely lacks the authority, but any legal challenge is “likely to fail” for lack of standing. A former Treasury official cautioned full sanctions unwinding and US firms entering Iran’s market remains far off, requiring complex legal changes and private-sector buy-in.@IntelSlava
