Fidel Castro Warns Of
Imminent Nuclear Catastrophe
HAVANA - The escalating tensions between
Iran and the United States could lead to a
new worldwide nuclear catastrophe, former
Cuban leader Fidel Castro warned on Monday.
If the United States and its allies try to
inspect Iranian ships, "they will receive
the proper answer," local media quoted an
article written by Castro as saying.
"I have no doubt that as soon as U.S. and
Israeli warships try to inspect the first
Iranian cargo ship ... it will be the exact
moment when the terrible war will begin,"
Castro said in the article, dubbed "Knowing
the truth in time."
"A disaster" is coming "quickly" and a war
would start even before the quarter-final of
the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, he
added.
The UN Security Council adopted a resolution
earlier this month imposing new sanctions
against Iran over its controversial nuclear
program, including restrictions on its
shipping and air cargo operations.
Castro handed over power to his brother Raul
due to health problems in 2006 and has since
devoted himself to editorials on major world
issues. |
