Warning To Kim: Nuclear Weapons Do Leave ‘Fingerprints’

Yet another ceasefire with Iran has been violated by its madman mullahs, triggering U.S. military action in response. Whether Iran’s actions are the result of a firmly entrenched new leadership or the result of an internal struggle to achieve that status remains uncertain. Regardless, however, that uncertainty brings into focus a major concern over whether a regime player will reach out to accept an outside offer of nuclear assistance.

We don’t know whether North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un, 44, was simply attempting to promote his tough guy image or was serious, but a comment he made last year needs to be addressed as Iran’s desire for a nuke drives it to do whatever is necessary to get one.

The personal relationship between President Donald Trump and Kim began with their 2018 summit. It marked an historic diplomatic engagement between the two countries. The resulting relationship has been described as mixed, demonstrating moments both of hostility and diplomacy.

However, in June of 2025, Kim made a comment that can only be interpreted as clearly being hostile. He reported his country had offered to provide Iran with nuclear weapons assistance. The thought of Pyongyang’s madman helping Tehran’s madmen should be most disturbing to the West.

What is unknown is the exact nature of such assistance. Would it involve nuclear warhead design or technology, missile delivery system technology, scientific and military collaboration or something even more worrisome—selling Iran one of North Korea’s own nukes? In the aftermath of the mullahs most recent ceasefire violation, Trump warned a nuclear-armed Iran would not hesitate to use such a weapon.

What Twelver Shi’a Islam actually teaches: * Unjustified killing of civilians is forbidden.

Unless it's their own civilians, I suppose. They've murdered tens of thousands, just this year. And how many have they murdered, around the world, over the last six decades?

The WOPR answered this question already.

Your last line is very true. That is why it can’t happen.

If a bomb's made in North Korea and used by Iran - BOTH countries attacked. It' that simple.

Rogue nukes became available when the USSR collapsed. Whilst working for local power company we used Soviet bomb material as fuel; and, we did a study for NSA on how easy it would be to steal bomb-quality material from Soviet power plants.
That material is out there. But, like the article says, its origine is traceable.

Pakistan is a known nuclear proliferator and have close ties to Iran, besides being their next door neighbor.

Didn’t Fauci et al with the full imprimatur of the CDC and the US govt. create a deadly gain of function virus that escaped the lab to kill 60,000 innocent fellow Americans? And didn’t the govt persecute the people for even discussing that fact? Didn’t we murder 3,000 innocent civilians in this war of choice? How many innocents died in the NATO attack on Yugoslavia?

Unaccountable groupthink governments do not hold any semblance of high moral ground.

The entire Obama era nuclear deal was predicated on the concept that Iran could job shop enrichment of uranium out to North Korea for the duration of of the agreement

The release of sanctions and technology embargos on nuclear and missile repeated tech allowed Iran to fund the purchase of critical equipment, technology and materials to scale up missile production and nuclear technology

Iran then shared this with North Korea to move both programs forward while Obama pretended the deal was real while looking the other way and ignoring both Iran and North Koreas WMD development projects

One of Trump’s first actions after taking office was shutting down the Iran -North Korea nuclear and ballistic missile collaborations

I think the Norks are totally focused on the survival of their regime under the current dynastic family. They talk a big game but selling a nuke would mean they get taken off the map.
