Iran’s Ballistic Missiles Have a ‘Forgotten Source’: North Korea
National Security Journal ^ | 6/16/2025 | Bruce Bechtol

North Korea has played a critical, though often overlooked, role in developing the very Iranian military capabilities now being used against Israel.

Iran’s Emad and Ghadr ballistic missiles, deployed in its recent retaliatory strikes, are advanced derivatives of the North Korean No Dong missile, developed with direct North Korean assistance and parts.

North Korea just keeps making more and more trouble. Too bad Trump did not solve the problem.

That problem is beyond the power of any American President, they have nukes and the war in Iran further shows the way to keep power in a dictatorship is build a nuke and dare anyone to stop you.

Plus, if North Korea were about to fall, China would step in like they did in the Korean War.

The only hope is North Korea fails internally and falls from some type of revolution which like Cuba will probably never happens.

“”North Korea just keeps making more and more trouble. Too bad Trump did not solve the problem.””

Funny, but... I didn’t notice Clinton, Obama or Biden “solving the problem”, either. But then... they would never ‘pick on’ their fellow comrades.

Fascinating North Korea should put themselves in the spotlight for Iran getting ballistic missiles. They are the same type of puppet that Iran is.

In 1984 Iran obtained its first ballistic missiles (20 Soviet “Scud-B” SRBMs) from Libya and subsequently procured Scud derivatives and launchers from North Korea and China. North Korea has been developing its ballistic missile capabilities for decades, with a program initially based and borrowed from Soviet technology.

It’s kind of like the traveling salesman taking credit for the development of the encyclopedias.

The Nork and Iranian missiles have proven that they have the same acracy of the clockwork guided German V2’s of WW II.

Too late for that. Iran is days away from falling. Maybe lil Kim will nuke Tehran at the ayatollah’s request?
