I’d read that Elon Musk was selling his rocket technology to NK. Then there was that horizontal launch of a Musk rocket that obviously didn’t succeed in reaching altitude but no one would say it “failed” at least not in the MSM that I saw. Youtube vlogger April LaJune said, and I don’t know her sources, that Trump had “eliminated” Musk’s access to Irridium satellites so SpaceX could not navigate. Note the same thing was said of NK’s rockets - that they could be launched but not navigated because no access to needed satellites.

My mother read the Moon was made out of green cheese.
P.S. ICBMs no not need satellite guidance. They have “star finder” telescopes that locate known stars in the boost, glide and descent stages that do simple, computer-driven celestial navigation that gets them within 100 meters of a target.
With a nuc, that is VERY close enough. In addition, satellites can be destroyed or jammed. The star Polaris cannot.
