Oil's no good if your island gets its shipments blockad. Not so hard to do when he's already on the 'Naughty' sanctions list, and he gets caught in an overt, hostile act. Yes, he needs the oil, but this is a very risky way to go about it.

Is it an overt hostil act against the USA to block a radio transmition from a private group in the US though? I am asuming that it is not our government sending the radio transmitions. I doubt that we would stop a shipment of oil to Cuba for them blocking radio transmitions from this group. Do we prevent other countries from doing comerce with Cuba or just ourselves?

If I were Castro, it would be worth the payment to help out Iran. The risk is little, we would have to take a overt stand against Cuba and admit we are meddling in Iranian politics. When if we want the signal to get to Iran we transmit it from the Arabian Gulf, instead of confronting Cuba.
