US EditionTrump says 'question of time' before US turns to Cuba after Iran

- Claiming credit, Trump said he wanted a 'friendly takeover' of the island and stated: `Well, it's because of my intervention, intervention that is happening`.
- Aviation fuel will be unavailable at nine airports until mid-March, prompting flight cuts, while millions of residents in western Cuba faced power failures yesterday and Cuban authorities rationed fuel to protect essential services.
- Following the strikes, senior U.S. figures issued hawkish remarks about Cuba that heightened regional tensions, with Sen. Lindsey Graham saying, `This communist dictatorship in Cuba, their days are numbered.`
- The Iran campaign may temporarily pull U.S. focus away from Cuba as the U.S. Treasury allowed resale of Venezuelan oil to Cuba's private sector last month to ease fuel shortages.
