According to Hamshahri Online, the White House statement said: Based on an agreement that will lead to the release of protesters imprisoned in Cuba, Biden will remove the country from the list of state sponsors of terrorism.
Also, a senior Biden administration official, who asked not to be named, stated that based on the assessments made, we do not have information that supports placing Cuba on the list of state sponsors of terrorism, and stated: The President of the United States will inform the US Congress of his intention to remove Cuba from this list.
The senior Biden administration official, noting that Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva personally asked Biden to remove Cuba from the list of state sponsors of terrorism, added: Other countries, including some members of the European Union, Spain, Canada, Colombia, Chile and many others, have requested that Havana be removed from this list.
According to CNN, Biden’s move will most likely be canceled after US President-elect Donald Trump returns to the White House next week, as Cuba’s name was included in the list of state sponsors of terrorism in the last days of Trump’s previous presidency.
According to IRNA, former presidents of 35 countries had previously sent a letter to the US President, requesting the removal of Cuba from the list of state sponsors of terrorism.
The list of terrorist groups and states sponsoring terrorism is published by the US under false pretenses. Any state that does not compromise with the United States is placed on this list and is subject to severe international financial sanctions. A clear example of this is America’s unquestioning support for the terrorist state of Israel, which, despite numerous independent reports from global human rights organizations, still supports the war crimes of this criminal regime against the Palestinian people.
