  "account": "The United States is tightening its fist on Cuba in search of a regime change. It is applying a strategy of progressive suffocation to force the fall of Castroism. But it is concerned about the role that Cuban intelligence services may have at these times. To counter this, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has increased its operational resources on the island over the past few months to intensify the operation to facilitate a change in leadership, according to The New York Times. Cuba has been declared “priority 1″, along with China, Iran and Russia, in a recent document on the main objectives of the secret services.",
  "summary": "The United States considers the island a priority for its intelligence agencies and teams on the ground are seeking to obtain more information at a time when a military operation has not been ruled out.",
