CIA Revives Cuba Task Force Amid Mounting Pressure for Regime Change

The agency’s mandate involves fostering internal dissent to replace current hard-line leadership with figures more amenable to the Trump administration’s demands. This development follows reports of increased US intelligence assets on the island, a precursor often associated with imminent military operations. Critics and historians remain divided on whether this strategy serves as mere political posturing for a domestic audience or a genuine prelude to escalation.

Adding to the volatility, the US State Department recently issued a report characterizing Cuba as an "espionage superpower" that has infiltrated American institutions for decades. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, a vocal proponent of regime change, has championed these findings despite widespread condemnation from Democrats and international observers. While the CIA has declined to comment on the task force, former agency operative Enrique Prado maintains that Washington is preparing for a definitive strike against the regime, viewing Cuba as the next major geopolitical target in the region.
