Cuba Hit With National Power Grid Collapse As Oil Sources Dry Up
Cuba Hit With National Power Grid Collapse As Oil Sources Dry Up Cuba’s power grid collapsed once again this week, this time at a national level, leaving millions of people across the island without electricity. This is the sixth time since the US cut off fuel sources to the island since January that the national grid has collapsed and it's the most utility shutdown events in the country's recent history. Even when Cuba's grid is in operation, only 30% of the population at most receives electricity at any given time. Many regions stay dark 20 to 30 hours at a stretch. Some provinces have reported 60–90 hours without power. Havana has gone from 4 hours a day early in the year to 18 hours after the fuel cutoff. "Protocols are now in place to begin the gradual restoration of the system," said Felix Estrada, an official with Cuba's National Electrical Union (UNE). Power had returned to a handful of scattered neighborhoods in Havana by late evening, primarily around hospitals, but much of the city remained completely dark. Many exhausted residents of the capital Havana were already without power when the national blackout hit. "Yesterday I'd gone without power for 24 hours. They turned the lights on for an hour, and then the grid collapsed," said Frank Lorenzo, a 23-year-old Havana resident. Around 61% of Cuba's oil was sourced from Venezuela until the US capture of illegitimate president Nicolas Maduro. Shipments from Mexico have were also scaled back and then cut off. Russia has sent only one tanker so far this year. Reports of a "shadow fleet" of tankers carrying Iranian oil to Cuba have circulated since at least 2020. Investigations of the seized tanker "Skipper" in 2025 found it had previously carried Iranian oil to Syria and China, then later moved Venezuelan oil on a route tied to Cuba. It confirmed the existence of overlapping Iran–Venezuela–Cuba shipping networks. The US blockade of the Strait of Hormuz has proven incredibly effective in shutting down Iranian oil exports, leaving Iran's clandestine trade partners high and dry. The communist regime has operated as a hub for Chinese, Russian and Iranian operations including intel operations in the western hemisphere for decades. Along with Venezuela, Cuba has represented a hostile eastern foothold in America's backyard. The Trump Administration also accuses the Cuban government of engaging in propaganda programs in the US, working with far-left organizations (including Antifa and Democratic Socialists) to organize activist subversion to undermine national stability. Cuba reports limited negotiations with US officials and has largely pandered to the American media in the hopes of winning favor in the court of public opinion. As with Iran, Trump seems to be playing the long game, waiting for Cuba to economically falter before entering into serious talks. The frequency of power outages on the island nation is increasing and it will be difficult for Cuba to continue functioning for much longer. Without an industrial base, agriculture and basic utilities, internal breakdown is inevitable. Tyler Durden Sat, 09/19/2026 - 12:15

14-Country Maritime Defense Alliance Moves Closer To Deploying To Red Sea, Gulf Of Aden
14-Country Maritime Defense Alliance Moves Closer To Deploying To Red Sea, Gulf Of Aden With Saudi shipping traffic in the Bab al-Mandeb Strait under unprecedented peril, the recently-launched Multinational Maritime Defense Coalition is moving closer to deploying ships to ensure freedom of navigation in the Red Sea, the Saudi Ministry of Defense announced on Friday. Formed on July 30 at the initiative of Saudi Arabia, the Multinational Maritime Defense Coalition comprises 14 countries: Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, Yemen, Bangladesh, Nigeria, Sudan, Djibouti, and Somalia. Representatives from 41 countries and the European Union, including 154 naval officers and officials, attended the coalition's fourth planning meeting at the Saudi Western Fleet Command in Jeddah. Representatives of the countries that comprise the new Multinational Maritime Defense Coalition at their Friday meeting in Jeddah (Saudi Defense Ministry) "The Alliance is currently working on integrating capabilities and preparing for operational implementation and actual presence in the maritime operations area, following its achievement of the Initial Operational Capability stage," the Saudi Defense Ministry said. The undertaking is organized to encompass joint training, intelligence-sharing, and -- most importantly -- maritime security operations. The entity is headquartered in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and commanded by Saudi Major General Abdullah Al-Shahri. On Friday, Al-Shahri told reporters the coalition will confront any threat to maritime navigation, but it's far from clear how much impact it will have.The fact that the entity has been the topic of very little conversation amid the growing economic crisis emanating from the Middle East suggests the markets are profoundly skeptical. “We have seen several maritime security initiatives before, including those established during the piracy crisis in the Gulf of Aden," International Crisis Group's Ahmed Nagi told al Jazeera last month. "While some of these initiatives had political significance, many struggled to translate their objectives into tangible results on the ground." The multi-mission combat ship His Majesty King Saud was floated in Wisconsin in December 2025 (SPA photo via Asharq Al-Awsat) Saudi Arabia has invited European states to join the coalition, but they've thus far been reluctant to join. In July, diplomats told the New York Times the Europeans wanted to see how the coalition's schemes and expectations developed before taking the plunge. When it formed, the coalition stressed that it was "purely defensive and not targeting any country." The coalition was formed just 10 days after Yemen's Ansar Allah movement -- nicknamed "the Houthis" after its founder -- announced a blockade on Saudi-related shipping in the Red Sea. Earlier this month, Ansar Allah achieved a stunning battlefield success by seizing the remainder of Yemen's Red Sea coast it hadn't yet controlled -- by the group's claim, some 2,000 square miles. The lightning blitz put well-armed Ansar Allah forces directly beside the Bab al-Mandeb Strait, and on islands that command it. Though frequently called "rebels," Ansar Allah -- "Defenders of God" -- controls Yemen's capital and territory in which some 80% of Yemenis live. Following the west-coast setback for Ansar Allah's Saudi-backed opponents, the kingdom was dealt another major blow when Iraqi militias struck Saudi Arabia's east-west pipeline, which had been serving as a critical export outlet amid the near-closure of the Strait of Hormuz. With the pipeline requiring repairs that will take weeks if not months, Saudi Aramco has started cancelling October crude oil delivers to Europe. Tyler Durden Sat, 09/19/2026 - 11:05
