FALCON POWERS – The Wall Street Journal has revealed that the Iranian attack on Israel in April of last year served as inspiration for North Korea, which is studying the operation to potentially benefit from it in any future conflicts with its adversaries.
According to the report, the Iranian attack garnered significant interest from North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, who believes that Israel’s success and that of its allies in repelling the Iranian strike could provide a real test for him in the event of a confrontation with Western defenses.
This operation could give Pyongyang an idea of how its weapons would perform if it were to attack Japan or South Korea, two countries whose defenses are integrated, much like Israel’s with the United States. These developments come amid increasing concerns in the West about potential military cooperation between North Korea and Iran.
The report indicated that North Korea has been monitoring the performance of its munitions in Ukraine, where Russia utilizes Korean weapons against Ukraine’s Western weaponry.
Israeli, American, and other allied forces intercepted dozens of drones and the vast majority of missiles launched by Iran before reaching Israel.
