The United States has reportedly increased its spying capabilities in Cuba, deploying more covert agents and surveillance flights as part of an effort to pressure the current regime. This escalation, described as bolstering the CIA's "presence," could potentially precede larger military operations, though no formal plans have been announced.

The intensified intelligence gathering follows an oil blockade imposed by the Trump administration earlier this year, which has strained Cuba's resources and led to widespread hardship. Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel has resisted U.S. demands for governmental change and has accused the Trump administration of attempting to destabilize the country.

While the exact scope of these intelligence efforts remains undisclosed to protect ongoing operations, the U.S. has previously employed tactics such as recruiting foreign agents and utilizing military aircraft for surveillance. This increased activity comes amid President Donald Trump's repeated assertions that Cuba is nearing collapse and his suggestions of potential U.S. intervention.
