Jeb Bush raises alarm over Iranian drones in Cuba [View all]

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) on Wednesday raised the alarm over Iranian drones believed to be in Cuba. “Iran has been a consistent threat to the united security interests of our country, certainly of Israel,” Bush said during a United Against Nuclear Iran event, serving as the group’s chair.

“And now, we see that it’s not just Israel and the United States, but the Gulf region as well. I also want to point out that the press reports that there are 300 of these [drones] in Cuba.” He said the U.S. has capabilities to protect the country before adding that “drones organize in clusters and can get through the defense capabilities, as we’ve seen in the Middle East as well.”

“I think it’s important to recognize that Iran has consistently been working with Cuba, Venezuela prior to the departure of Maduro from the regime, creating instability in not just in Cuba, but certainly in the region,” Bush said, referring to deposed Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. He praised the current administration’s efforts against Iran’s military capabilities, saying “we’re on the verge of creating a much more peaceable world by standing up against this aggression.”

Bush had for years drawn a hard line on Cuba. Before his 2016 Republican bid for the presidency, he shared then-Sen. Marco Rubio’s (R-Fla.) sentiment that the U.S. should not negotiate with Cuba and ease relations. Bush has been held in high regard by Florida’s Cuban exile population.

He also stole an election.

They had to dig deep to unearth another zombie chickenhawk.
