Castro warns of nuclear conflict threat

A relaxed and lucid Fidel Castro returned to the limelight after years spent largely out of public view, discussing world events in a raspy voice in his most prominent television interview since falling seriously ill four years ago.

The 83-year-old former Cuban president talked about how tension between the United States and both North Korea and Iran could ultimately trigger a global nuclear war, in an interview on Mesa Redonda – or Round Table – a daily talk show on current events.
