MIAMI Mayor Francis Suarez called today for US air strikes on Cuba as he pressed the case for military intervention to force regime change on the socialist Caribbean island.

He was speaking in an interview with right-wing US television channel Fox News when he called for the US forces to bomb Havana, citing previous examples of so-called “humanitarian intervention.”

“What should be contemplated right now is a coalition of potential military action in Cuba, similar to what has happened … in both Republican and Democrat administrations,” Mr Suarez said, citing the 1989 US invasion of Panama that deposed General Manuel Noriega.
