Hard Number: US eyes Cuba, literally

The US military is reportedly increasing surveillance missions over Cuba, mostly around the country’s two biggest cities, Havana and Santiago de Cuba. Flights of this ilk were previously rare in this area. Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump is reportedly growing impatient that the Cuban regime hasn’t fallen, despite a de facto US oil blockade on the island – his team says the regime will fall by year’s end, but he’s looking for a faster turnaround. Might this have something to do with the US’s issues in Iran?
