According to Politico, despite the ongoing war with Iran the U.S. Navy's deployment in the Caribbean has not been reduced. The Pentagon has, for months, positioned the forces needed to attack Cuba and is awaiting Trump's approval. After economic and diplomatic pressure produced no result, Trump reportedly proposed invading Cuba. The current concentration of U.S. naval forces in the region — the largest globally outside the Middle East — enables immediate action and has laid the groundwork for capturing Cuban leaders or conducting precision strikes. U.S. Secretary of State Rubio said at a cabinet meeting on Wednesday that Cuba is "in a very difficult situation" and that the "failed state" 90 miles from the U.S. threatens American security. The U.S. fleet in the region is currently slightly smaller than it was during the January operation to capture Maduro, but the USS Nimitz carrier strike group and multiple guided-missile destroyers and cruisers have entered the Caribbean. U.S. drones and reconnaissance aircraft have been flying around Cuba for months. The amphibious assault ship USS Kearsarge is standing by to deploy.

Early today (May 28), the head of Iran's parliamentary National Security BOARD said Iran will not back down because of remarks by US President TRUMP and will "uphold its red lines" in talks with the United States — specifying those red lines as its uranium enrichment capacity and stock of enriched uranium, control of the Strait of Hormuz, and the lifting of sanctions. Earlier, TRUMP told a cabinet meeting he was dissatisfied with progress in US‑Iran talks, would not accept a new Strait of Hormuz management mechanism being negotiated between Iran and Oman, is not considering easing sanctions on Iran for now, and would not accept reaching an agreement first and then negotiating the nuclear issue further.
