In the arsenal of evil, from which the fascist government of the United States launches lead and shrapnel against those who do not submit to its dictates, there are also silent weapons of astonishing destructive power.

These instruments of war are distortion and lies.

The fabrications devised to justify the treacherous blow against Venezuela, the recent maximum pressure measures targeting Cuba's precarious energy subsistence, and the failed armed infiltration of terrorists who sought to sow terror and death among the population are the most recent evidence of the use of these weapons.

As in the previous examples, the current aggression against the Islamic Republic of Iran, which today has the planet on edge, is backed by an avalanche of falsehood and distortion of facts.

A simple look at the campaigns against the truth surrounding the events outlined here makes clear the enemy's purpose.

They have widely disseminated that the hardships suffered by the Cuban people and the painful blackouts due to lack of fuel stem from the Government's "inability" to resolve electricity generation problems.

Cuba is a "failed state," "socialism is a failure"—these are slogans repeated on social media. And most recently, they have tried to sell the "noble intention" announced by Donald Trump of a "friendly intervention" in Cuba.

Following the official note from the MININT, an attempt was made from Miami to portray the crew of the attacking boat as "innocent civilians" on a "humanitarian mission" to "rescue family members."

They also alluded to the terms "massacre" and "slaughter" to portray as victims the criminals who were trying to sow terror among the population.

Speaking of the supposed "truths" alluded to in order to justify the actions against Venezuela and the kidnapping of President Maduro and his wife is pointless.

If it weren't such a serious matter, one could say that everything wielded to confer credibility is ridiculous: "Maduro was the head of an enormously powerful drug cartel and the main trafficker to the United States," they have affirmed from Washington.

The distorted and false information propagated by the aggressors of Iran is crude and immoral, but above all very dangerous, given the implications of this conflict unleashed for geostrategic purposes, which could escalate into a global conflict.

Marco Rubio, stung by criticism of the attack on Tehran from within the American people themselves, has vociferated that the objective was only to hit military targets; however, he has no response to the barbaric fact of more than 160 Iranian schoolchildren killed by U.S. bombs.

"We did not target Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei." "The United States was not seeking a regime change in Iran," the submissive and discredited Secretary of State has said. The Supreme Leader was assassinated.

Silence is also a form of distortion. A denunciation on the matter clarifies it with certainty: "Trump does not say how many soldiers of his army have died under the avalanche of rockets on U.S. bases in the Middle East; he does not say that Iran continues to launch missiles and counterattack; he does not say that the Strait of Hormuz is closed and oil tankers are burning; he does not say that his embassies in the region are under attack; he does not say that Hezbollah, the Houthis, and the Iraqi militias are on a war footing.

He assures, on the contrary, from the bunker where he hides, that Operation Rapid Fury is 'advancing faster than planned,' while the world burns and his soldiers fall, as an internet user has said.

This is the dangerous onslaught of distortion and lies. We must be alert.
