Pyongyang — In a fiery statement that has sent geopolitical shockwaves across the globe, North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un has declared full support for Iran, vowing retaliation against any nation that poses a threat to the Islamic Republic.
“We will respond to any threat against Iran,” Kim warned. “We caution the mercenaries of global imperialism: any hostile action will be met with firm resistance.”
The bold declaration, delivered during a high-level meeting with military commanders, signals a rare and explicit alignment between Pyongyang and Tehran amid rising Middle East tensions.
International observers say the statement marks a significant escalation in global polarization, with North Korea joining Iran in openly confronting Western powers.
The North Korean leader’s remarks come as Iran remains locked in a high-stakes standoff with Israel and its allies, with fears growing over a broader regional conflict.
Kim’s message concluded with a chilling warning: “Let it be known — aggression against Iran is aggression against peace, and it will not go unanswered.”
