In a strongly worded statement, North Korea has condemned Israel’s recent airstrike on Iran, calling it a “hideous act of aggression” and branding Israel a “cancer-like entity for peace in West Asia.” The remarks were issued by a spokesperson from North Korea’s Foreign Ministry and published by the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA).
The statement accused Israel—backed by the United States and Western powers—of escalating tensions in the Middle East and violating Iran’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
“The present grave situation witnessed by the world clearly proves that Israel, supported and patronised by the US and the West, is a cancer-like entity for peace in the Middle East and a chief culprit of destroying global peace and security,” the spokesperson said.
🔥 Rising Tensions in the Middle East
The condemnation comes amid a week-long conflict between Israel and Iran, with both sides exchanging missile strikes. Israel claims to have targeted missile manufacturing facilities in Tehran, while Iran has responded with ballistic missile launches and air defense mobilization.
North Korea, which has maintained diplomatic ties with Iran since 1973, expressed “serious concern” over the potential for a full-scale regional war, warning that the situation could spiral into a broader international crisis.
🌐 Strategic Alliances and Global Fallout
Both Pyongyang and Tehran are under international sanctions for their weapons programs and have reportedly supplied arms to Russia in its war against Ukraine. North Korea’s statement aligns with its long-standing anti-US and anti-Israel stance, reinforcing its solidarity with Iran.
Stay tuned for developments on this escalating geopolitical crisis.
