Havana Syndrome: How Russia Could Be Tied to Mysterious Illness

A decade ago, US personnel in Havana, Cuba, began suffering from mysterious symptoms including piercing head pressure, dizziness, nausea, loss of balance, and cognitive decline. So-called Havana Syndrome cases then spread to China, across the world, and even inside the United States. Victims include some of the US' most talented spies and other American officials, some of whose lives have never been the same. Oriana Zill de Granados, co-author of 'The Havana Syndrome,' discusses how Russia could be tied to these incidents. She explores the evidence suggesting that Russian intelligence agencies may have used directed energy weapons or other technologies to target US personnel, and the challenges of investigating such attacks. The interview sheds light on the ongoing mystery and the efforts to uncover the truth behind Havana Syndrome. It raises important questions about national security, the health of American diplomats and spies, and the potential for foreign adversaries to use unconventional weapons.
