The United States is investigating whether Iran has drones stored in Cuba, President Donald Trump confirmed from the Oval Office on Monday.
Asked by reporters about a purported intelligence report pointing to the possibility, the president replied bluntly: "If they have them, and it's very possible that they do, we'll take care of it."
Trump went further, suggesting the island might also be storing Iranian missiles, something that, he said, his administration "is looking into right now."
Trump did not provide any photographs, intelligence documents or details on the number, model or location of the alleged equipment. The question that triggered his comments came from a journalist working for a media outlet aligned with conservative positions, who referred to a report that had not previously been made public.
The president also mentioned that Secretary of State Marco Rubio was in an adjoining room as he answered, implying that the issue was already on the State Department's agenda.
