North Korea Declares Itself a Nuclear Weapons State
Breaking News: North Korea passed a new law declaring itself a nuclear weapons state
The new law, passed by the North Korean parliament on Friday, September 9, 2022, declares North Korea to be a "nuclear weapons state" and sets out a new policy of using nuclear weapons to defend itself against attack.
The law also includes a provision stating that North Korea will not use nuclear weapons against any non-nuclear state unless that state attacks North Korea with nuclear weapons or with conventional weapons in conjunction with a nuclear state.
The passage of the new law is the latest in a series of steps taken by North Korea to develop and expand its nuclear weapons program. In recent years, North Korea has conducted a number of nuclear tests and has developed a range of nuclear-capable missiles.
The new law is likely to further increase tensions between North Korea and the United States and its allies, and it raises the risk of a nuclear conflict on the Korean Peninsula. The United States has said that it will not tolerate a nuclear-armed North Korea, and it has threatened to take military action if necessary to prevent North Korea from developing nuclear weapons.
