Cuban President signs book of condolences in honor of Grand Ayatollah Ali Khamenei

The First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba and President of the Republic, Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez, visited the headquarters of the Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran on the island at noon on Thursday to sign the Book of Condolences opened in honor of Grand Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei.
We feel deep sorrow and grief upon learning of the assassination of the Supreme Leader of the Iranian nation as a result of the vile aggression of the United States and Israel, wrote the president, who described the act as a flagrant violation of all norms of international law and human dignity.
"We will remember him as the outstanding statesman and leader of the Iranian people, who contributed decisively to the development and consolidation of friendly and cooperative relations between our countries."
At this time of profound sorrow, the head of state emphasized, I convey the expressions of solidarity and heartfelt condolences of the Cuban people and government, and we extend them to his family, loved ones, and friends, he said.
At the diplomatic headquarters in Havana, Díaz-Canel was received by Iranian Ambassador Zabihollah Naderi and was accompanied in the simple tribute by Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla and the Director General of Bilateral Affairs of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Carlos Miguel Pereira Hernández.
Following the attacks perpetrated by Israel and the United States against Iran on February 28th, the President wrote on his social media account that these constituted a flagrant violation of international law and the United Nations Charter, ruined diplomatic efforts on the nuclear issue for the second time, and endangered regional and international peace and security.
More recently, on March 4th, he also highlighted on X that "Cuba joins the international calls for an immediate end to the violation of international law as a result of the aggression by the United States and Israel against Iran and Lebanon, with political assassinations and indiscriminate attacks that include the killing of children and have led to the serious escalation we are seeing today in the turbulent Middle East, which, if not stopped, will have unpredictable consequences for all the peoples of the region, as well as for international peace, security, and stability."
We advocate, he said, for respect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all nations in the region and an end to acts that cause human damage and damage to the civilian infrastructure of the Arab Gulf States, with which we have ties of friendship and cooperation.
"Cuba reiterates its call to preserve the principles of good neighborliness, moderation, and dialogue at this delicate moment," he emphasized.
