JUST IN; Kim Jong Un Slams the U.S. and Israel as “Terrorist States” — See Why He’s Now Pledging Support to Iran
North Korea has sharply escalated global tensions after issuing a fiery condemnation of the United States and Israel over their ongoing military campaign against Iran. The government in Pyongyang accused both countries of acting as “terrorist states” and labeled U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as “war criminals and terrorists.”
In a statement attributed to the country’s supreme leadership, North Korea declared that the actions of Washington and Tel Aviv in Iran amount to what it described as “aggression against a sovereign nation.” The statement warned that continued military operations could destabilize the Middle East and provoke wider global conflict.
The declaration, delivered under the authority of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, went further by announcing Pyongyang’s intention to support Iran. According to the statement, North Korea is prepared to provide what it called “strategic assistance,” including nuclear capabilities and other forms of military aid, to help Iran defend itself against what it described as “foreign aggression.”
The announcement has alarmed international observers because any transfer of nuclear weapons or related technology would violate numerous global non-proliferation agreements and could dramatically escalate tensions in an already volatile region. Analysts warn that such a move, if carried out, could trigger a severe international crisis and further strain diplomatic relations between North Korea and Western powers.
North Korea and Iran have maintained diplomatic and military ties for decades, with both countries frequently criticizing U.S. foreign policy and sanctions. Pyongyang’s latest declaration appears to signal a willingness to deepen that cooperation amid the ongoing conflict involving the United States, Israel, and Iran.
Officials in Washington and Tel Aviv have not immediately responded to the latest statement from Pyongyang. However, experts say the rhetoric reflects North Korea’s long-standing opposition to U.S. military influence in the Middle East and its strategic alignment with countries that challenge American power on the global stage.
The development comes at a time when tensions in the region remain high, with fears growing that the conflict could draw in additional countries and expand beyond the Middle East. International leaders have repeatedly called for restraint and diplomatic solutions to prevent the situation from escalating into a broader global confrontation.
