U.S. Unveils Sinister Missile Deal Between Russia, North Korea, and Iran
U.S. announces sanctions against entities aiding missile transfer from North Korea, Iran to Russia. Stresses accountability, upholds international standards.
The United States is poised to enact fresh sanctions targeting entities facilitating the transfer of military aid, including ballistic missiles, from North Korea and Iran to Russia. John Kirby, Coordinator for Strategic Communications at the National Security Council, revealed this initiative during a January 4th briefing.
Kirby cited evidence pointing to Russia obtaining ballistic missiles from North Korea and engaging in talks with Tehran for similar weaponry. Collaborating with allies, the U.S. plans to implement measures against this military collaboration, presenting the issue to the United Nations Security Council as a violation of its resolutions, which Russia had previously endorsed.
"We will demand that Russia be held accountable for another violation of its international obligations. Secondly, we will impose sanctions on those who facilitate the transfer of weapons between Russia and the DPRK [Democratic People's Republic of Korea] and Russia and Iran," Kirby emphasized.
The U.S. aims to publicly expose these arms agreements, preventing covert support for Russia's military efforts from other nations. This move comes in response to Russia's recent international military engagements, including a December declaration with Iran to jointly counter Western sanctions. Iran also reported a November agreement with Russia for the supply of Su-35 fighters, Mi-28 attack helicopters, and Yak-130 combat trainers.
These U.S. measures underscore a resolute stance against the military backing provided to Russia by North Korea and Iran. The objective is to uphold international standards for peace and security. As geopolitical tensions persist, the U.S. remains committed to challenging any collaboration that undermines global stability.
