Experts warn that recent US military actions against Iran may inadvertently encourage North Korea to accelerate its nuclear program. The strikes are seen as potentially strengthening North Korea’s resolve to develop nuclear weapons as a means of deterrence and regional influence. Analysts suggest that increased tensions in the Middle East could lead North Korea to view nuclear capabilities as more vital than ever, possibly prompting a strategic shift. The situation underscores the complex and interconnected nature of global security challenges in the region.
