The F.B.I. concluded that the ailments known as Havana syndrome likely stemmed from social contagion rather than hostile actions, creating skepticism among officials.
Critics of the F.B.I. report argue that the absence of victim interviews undermined its findings, leading to a lack of credibility and further fueling doubts.
The emergence of Havana syndrome in 2016 among U.S. diplomats in Cuba triggered theories of covert foreign attacks, but the F.B.I. analysis pointed towards psychological factors.
Questions regarding the origins of Havana syndrome persist within the intelligence community, as officials remain divided over whether the symptoms are real and how they should be addressed.
