Coreea de Nord declară "ireversibil" statutul său de ţară nucleară

North Korea has rejected calls for denuclearization from the IAEA, citing the expansion of nuclear alliances among the US, South Korea, and Japan as justification for its own nuclear arsenal growth. Kim Yo Jong emphasized the irreversible nature of North Korea's nuclear status, asserting that external pressures will not affect their defense measures. The IAEA's director urged North Korea to reaffirm its commitment to the NPT, highlighting ongoing nuclear program developments. Additionally, a North Korean defense official reiterated that the country's nuclear status is constitutionally enshrined and deemed irreversible, linking it to perceived threats from US-led military presence in the region.
