Despite many years of efforts to convince North Korea to abandon the nuclear weapon program, Kim regime is considered a owner of many types of nuclear weapons, as well as rocket missiles that can potentially reach the United States. And this means that every potential military attack on the Korean Peninsula would be associated with much higher risk.
– The hit of President Trump into Iranian nuclear objects will undoubtedly strengthen the legitimacy of North Korea's long -term policy in the field of survival of the regime and the development of nuclear weapons -said in an interview with CNN Lim Eul-Chul, a professor of studies on North Korea at the South Korean University of Kyuntym.
– North Korea perceives the recent US air attack as ahead of a military threat and will probably accelerate efforts to increase its own ability to overtake nuclear attacks – he added.
This acceleration can occur thanks to Russian help, thanks to the blooming military relations, which both neighbors established after the invasion of Moscow to Ukraine.
– Based on the strategic alliance between North Korea and Russia, Pyongyang will probably strive for joint development of weapons, combined military exercises, technology transfer and greater mutual dependence in both economic and military terms – said Lim, which CNN quotes.
Kim confirmed his belief
– In Kim's eyes, the last military activities of the USA in Iran are consistent with disturbing logic: countries without nuclear weapons, from Iraq and Libya to Iran, are susceptible to the intervention directed by the US – said Victor Cha, chairman of Korea, quoted by CNN Victor Cha, chairman at the Center of Strategic and International Studies
According to char, Washington raids on Tehran's nuclear assets will probably leave a lasting impression on the regime of Kim. “Iran attacks will only confirm two things for North Korea, none of which are beneficial for US policy,” he said.
First of all: the US does not have the option of using force to the North Korean nuclear program like Israel towards Iran. Secondly: the hit will only confirm Kim Jong Una in the belief that he will strive to create and maintain a nuclear arsenal. “
It should be emphasized here that Pyongyang's nuclear program is much more advanced, with a weapon probably ready to be launched in many transmission systems, including an intercontinental ballistic missile.
In turn, Iran has not yet developed a nuclear weapon that could be supplied, and its enriching uranium remained below the threshold enabling the production of weapons, in accordance with the latest assessment of the International Atomic Energy Agency.
