          These sporting agreements would be beneficial for both.

          Cuba can help Iran with Boxing, Track & Field, Baseball.

          Iran is going to help Cuba with Football, Pahlevani and possibly some other sports.

          Both are good in Volleyball, Wrestling, Basketball, Martial Arts.

          Football: Iran wishes to help Cuba with Football coaching. Cuba wishes for their national team to travel to Tehran and play Team Melli to give their players international experience. I think regular friendly with Cuba will benefit reserve, bench and uncapped players. Also maybe women's team, U23 and youth teams will benefit from regular friendlies too.

            I have been to Cuba and I have traveled to many of the cities. I agree hundred precent with inarsenewetrust, why embargo a tiny country? If U.S. ideology is so powerful, have open relationships with them and let the chips fall where they would. I don't agree with their political system yet people were really appreciative about free education, free health care and did not want to lose those. They were also proud that they had been able to fend off all the U.S. attacks and pressures. They wanted better economic conditions but did all of them hate their government? that is not what I picked up. I was not in a resort. We stayed in an apartment in Havana and we had Cuban tour guides and driver. We bonded with them during the trip. This was during the Obama years and the openness that was later ended by Trump had made a significant impact. There were so many small businesses and people were excited about newly found opportunities. I think it is fascinating that they have been able to still keep it together in spite of all US sanctions and overnight disappearance of all the support they got from former Soviet Union in 1991 when the "empire" fell apart. I still welcome cooperation with them. They are socially more open than backward IR and have made significant gains in medicine, biological sciences and certain branches of sports (not football).

            Before their revolution, Cuba was a hub of drug smuggling and prostitution for the US Mafia. We met with a university professor who was telling us that ONLY in Havana, there were over fifty thousand prostitutes before the revolution and Cuba was the mafia hub for cocaine and heroine. They were also a bastion of racism before the revolution. We visited a famous hotel in Havana were Sinatra and Nat King Cole (remember the song unforgettable?) had performed before the revolution. They were telling us the story about how Cole could not stay in the hotel or even dine in the ballroom where he performed because he was Black. I was just impressed that they were able to stand up to the U.S. only eighty miles away.

            BTW, Cuban people were so much fun. We had an amazing time.

            Go TM!

              US Mafia intervention in Cuba reminded me of the scene depicted in The Godfather II.

There’s a reason they all risk their life on a boat just to get to the US and beg and plead to stay. That country is as messed up as Iran under IR.

                  Cuba has suffered greatly because of illegal sanctions.

                  Yes, Cuban people are friendly except those who live in Florida and support democratic party.

                  We can benefit from Cuban's medical advancement(s). Cuba exports physicians to many poorer countries and help them in other ways.

                  Amazing how Cubans love their country and are willing to die for it. We can learn many things from Cubans who will not steal from us whereas ALL the Western countries want to steal and sabotage our country.

                    Yup. They have their best friends in there (Islamic Republic) who is making sure Iran dies from within. Iran in the 70s was progressing too fast and the Westerners put IR in power to make sure that doesn't happen.

                    In 1978, 17,800 tomans would buy you an automobile. Today, it buys you half a pound of chicken.

And it’s one that does not grant freedoms of any kind, or accommodate people’s demands in any way. What is increasingly clear is that there is clear demand for change in the regime. What the people want is regime change, and no return to the past. There is a very real possibility of regime change." - Nasrin Sotoudeh

                          Absolutely. As far as incompetence and corruption, I don't even want to compare Cuban leadership with the IR. It's insulting to them.

                            I agree the situation is not good in Iran. A major part of it is illegal sanctions which have violated UN, NPT, and IAEA agreements for a member country of these organizations before IR came to power.
                            Interesting to note import of cigarettes is not sanctioned.

                            Not only Western countries have placed illegal sanctions, they have stolen our artifacts and filled up their museums.

                            Killing our scientists. Banning import of medicine or a method to pay for them. Illegal sanctions have helped some people to make money on both sides.

                            Rather than criticizing, it will be helpful to say what our people have done to improve the situation in the country. Oppositions and separatists are tearing the country apart.

                            Western countries fund groups to kill or cause destructions inside the country. Lately, they have made videos to lie about us.

                            Peace. Iran is the oldest country or one of the oldest countries and Persian language is the fourth important language in the world.

                            Yes we have shortcomings, but we have many positive things even in today's Iran.
