Senior Pentagon officials have been “quietly” reviewing military options for Cuba, CBS News reports, citing US officials familiar with internal discussions. Planners considered scenarios including an Army-led air assault involving thousands of troops and the 101st Airborne Division. Sources stressed the material is early-stage contingency planning rather than an indication that President Trump or the Defense Department has ordered an operation. CBS also links the deliberations to shifting US attention toward the Middle East and renewed focus on Cuba’s regime.
