U.S. State Department Report Accuses Cuba of Spy Campaign

The U.S. State Department released a major report on Monday, July 20, 2026, accusing Cuba of conducting a decades-long campaign of subversion and espionage aimed at undermining the United States from within. The 100-page document, titled "Cuba: The Capital of 21st Century Communism," represents a significant escalation in Washington's rhetoric, framing the island nation not merely as a geopolitical adversary but as a sophisticated intelligence operation waging a "revolution against Western civilization itself."

The report alleges that Cuban agents and operatives have infiltrated hundreds of organizations within the United States, collectively representing one of the largest and most dangerous vectors of hostile foreign influence in modern American history. It claims Havana has cultivated generations of American activists, supported left-wing militancy, and backed what it describes as an unprecedented wave of left-wing terrorism on U.S. soil. The document further asserts that Cuban influence can be linked, in some form, to major domestic upheavals, including the rise of Antifa, unrest following the death of George Floyd, and pro-Palestinian activism on college campuses.
