North Korea Condemns Israeli Attack on Iran, Calls Israel “Cancer” Threatening Global Peace

Pyongyang, North Korea – North Korea has issued a scathing condemnation of Israel’s recent attack on Iran, calling it an “illegal and inhumane crime” that risks sparking a new war in the Middle East.

In a statement released by a spokesperson for North Korea’s Foreign Ministry, the isolated regime accused Israel of being a “cancer” to regional stability and the “worst criminal” in destroying global peace.

Key Points from North Korea’s Statement:

  • “Illegal and Inhumane” Attack – North Korea denounced Israel’s strike on Iran as a violation of international law and an act of aggression.
  • Warning of Escalation – The statement warned that the attack could trigger a broader conflict in the already volatile Middle East.
  • Israel as “Cancer” – The Foreign Ministry likened Israel to a “malignant tumor” and blamed it, along with the U.S. and “Zionists,” for undermining world peace.
  • U.S. and “Zionists” Accused – North Korea claimed that the U.S. and Jewish leaders bear responsibility for global instability.

Context & Reactions

The statement comes amid heightened tensions in the Middle East following Israel’s alleged retaliation against Iran for its earlier drone and missile attacks. North Korea, a long-time ally of Iran and a vocal critic of the U.S. and its allies, has consistently supported anti-Western and anti-Israel positions.

While North Korea’s rhetoric is not unexpected, its strong language underscores its alignment with Iran and other nations opposing U.S. influence in the region. Analysts suggest Pyongyang may be using the crisis to reinforce its anti-Western narrative while diverting attention from its own geopolitical struggles.

International Response

So far, there has been no direct response from Israel or the U.S. to North Korea’s remarks. However, the statement could further strain relations between Pyongyang and Western nations at a time of rising global tensions.

This is a developing story. Updates will follow as more reactions emerge.
