North Korea condemns US strikes on Iran.
North Korea and Iran are known to have close and strategic ties, particularly in the areas of military cooperation, missile technology, and mutual opposition to the United States. Over the years, both nations have found common ground in resisting Western sanctions and pressures, often supporting each other diplomatically in international forums. Their relationship has included reported exchanges of ballistic missile technology and joint efforts in weapons development, drawing concern from global powers.
This partnership has been characterized by a shared ideology of self-reliance and defiance against U.S. hegemony. Iran has been alleged to benefit from North Korean missile expertise, while North Korea has sought financial resources and diplomatic backing from Tehran. Despite differences in culture and governance, their alignment on global political issues—especially opposition to U.S. foreign policy—has cemented their alliance.
military actions, including strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, North Korea has stepped forward to condemn Washington. The statement reinforces the deep bond between Pyongyang and Tehran, both of which accuse the U.S. of violating international norms and pursuing unilateral aggression.
Seoul: North Korea on Monday issued a sharp and “strong” condemnation of the United States’ recent military strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities, calling the action a blatant violation of Iran’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.
In a statement released through the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), a spokesperson from the North’s foreign ministry accused Washington of committing a grave breach of international law and principles enshrined in the United Nations Charter. The spokesperson described the precision strikes on Iran as “violent aggression” and a serious threat to regional and global peace.
The condemnation comes as the United States officially entered into open conflict with Iran, following its targeted strikes on three major nuclear sites in the Islamic Republic — Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan. The US claimed these facilities were central to Iran’s efforts to enrich uranium and potentially build nuclear weapons.
The situation has sparked global alarm and prompted an emergency meeting of the United Nations Security Council. During the heated session, US and Iranian diplomats exchanged accusations, each blaming the other for escalating tensions.
She described Iran as the “world’s foremost state sponsor of terror” and warned that Washington would not hesitate to take further action if Tehran continued its nuclear provocations.
The international community now watches closely, as fears mount over the possibility of a wider conflict engulfing the already volatile Middle East.
