Reactions mixed in Iran to US-Cuba detente
While some Iranians hope that the US-Cuba rapprochement could lead to one with Iran, others believe there are more differences than similarities between the two situations.
On Dec. 17, following a year and half of secret talks between Washington and Havana, US President Barack Obama ordered the restoration of full diplomatic ties between the United States and Cuba.
“It’s time for a new approach” with Cuba, Obama said in a televised statement. “These 50 years have shown that isolation does not work.”
