Korean News: Hundreds of North Korean Nuclear Experts Are Working in Iran
Posted by Jim Hoft on Sunday, November 13, 2011, 7:55 PM
Korean News is reporting that hundreds of North Korean scientists are collaborating with their Iranian counterparts in more than 10 locations.
Yonhap News reported, via Free Republic:
Hundreds of North Korean nuclear and missile experts have been collaborating with their Iranian counterparts in more than 10 locations across the Islamic state, a diplomatic source said Sunday.
The revelation lends credence to long-held suspicions that North Korea was helping Iran with a secret nuclear and missile program.
It also represents a new security challenge to the international community as it seeks to curb the nuclear ambitions of Pyongyang and Tehran, and thwart trading of nuclear and missile technology.
North Korea has long been suspected of being behind nuclear and missile proliferation in Iran, Syria, Myanmar and Pakistan.
Korean Chosun Ilbo News added:
A Japanese daily claims that Iran and North Korea run a joint nuclear research center to carry out computer simulations of nuclear tests.
Japan’s Sankei Shimbun on Thursday said Iran has three secret research centers across the country. And a dozen North Korean researchers and experts have visited the facilities this year to share information about nuclear technology.
The report goes on to say that the two countries are running the tests to develop starting devices for nuclear bombs.

No problemo!!! Smart Diplomacy. Opie and Rodham fly on in to Tehran, they sit down with Ahmediniziad and the Mullahs.
And we are all better.
Gman commented:
Can’t wait for Israel to unleash the wrath.
Opaobie commented:
That just makes Iran an even more target rich environment. Do the North Koreans get 72 Korean virgins when they get blown to Hell?
Zelsdorf Ragshaft III commented:
I recall what Kennedy told the Russian Primier during the Cuban missle deal. We should consider a nuclear strike on any of our allies or the U.S as a direct strike upon the U.S. requiring a full nuclear response on both North Korea and Iran. And I would inform them we would place a boomer in easy range of both those nations.
KC commented:
All sarcasm aside, are we surprised?

Can anyone tell us what the OBAMA-DOCTRINE is?? Kissing Muzztard ass would be my guess.

Didn’t a bunch of NORKs get dusted when Israel dusted Syria’s plant a couple of years back?

Oh this can’t be happening because I remember the 2007 NIE on Iran that ABCCBSNBCCNNNYT et al used to beat Bush/Cheney over the head with as war mongers. Our watchdogs who also protected us from the financial meltdown wouldn’t mislead us would they? bahahahhahahaha
wtd commented:
The anti-US sentiment may remain intact while NK nuclear scientists travel in Iran. One would imagine, however, these NK scientists would also recognizethe comparative wealth of Iran to NK. Or, are they sheltered from Iranian societal norms as well?
Redwine commented:
NorK nuke scientists were working on behest of the Iranians on the Syrian nuke site that Israel took out in 2007.
Patty commented:
Covert, bunker busters, that is what I heard recently Obama will send in to Israel.
North Korea and Iran are on a mission and God help Israel. And with the involvement of NK, now, to heads are better than one apparently that is what they are thinking.
Nuclear war? are you all ready. Scary thought and evil is rearing it head.

You know what is scary as hell??
Obama believes that the U.S. having NUKES is bad, evil and wrong.
Yet the REAL WORLD is anti-U.S. and has NUKES.
There are SOOOOOOOOOOOOO many reasons that Obama needs to be 1 AND DONE.
Patty commented:
It is like we have been watching and just waiting for something for years now. Seems we may see something we hoped would never happen.
There have been warnings for years and this nation in my opinion is sitting on its hands.
Yes, there are operations to stop Iran but personally, LET’S GET SERIOUS.
Blacque Jacques Shellacque commented:
Just to be fair — and believe me, I’m normally not inclined to be — GWB allowed this sort of thing to occur on his watch without doing anything about it, so Obie certainly isn’t going to be doing anything different.
Patty commented:
It seems now, Obama needs to get involved. I realize that no one wants a Nuclear War, ever. But for the past 3 years we have seen a very weak president and our enemies know it.
Well, BinLaden is gone, Gaddafi is gone, lets see if Obama can make this go away.
D Roamer commented:
I am of those that believe that a “worm” will disable any of their systems when the time seems right. I remember a year or so ago that Iran’s nuclear arms had serious network disablement. No one claims credit, but my guess is U.S. or Israel.
It would be wise to let them waste all their effort for naught. It will be a very dispiriting blow. They will finally abandon this evil project, because there will be an uprising when this failure is demonstrated.
Patty commented:
Bolton is right, he said they will have the bomb soon, now, it seems with NK in play for them sooner can’t some soon enough. Why this has gone on and why when the people of Iran were calling on us to help, Obama did nothing.
Christopher Taylor commented:
That Axis of Evil thing, what a joke, huh?
Patty commented:
I am sure, more is going on behind the scenes than anyone of us realize. I wish we could just bomb their facilities and end it all, now. But everyone says Israel is capable. A small nation can do this alone. Yet, I feel sure that we will intercede and Obama won’t ignore them too.
We have sent them equipment, bunker busters or whatever, hope that this will end soon. I cannot imagine how the Iranians are feeling. And the Israelis. Those who just won’t to live their lives.

If this is true, I think a strongly worded letter of condemnation though the UN is recommended. But I don’t think Russia and China will go along with that.
Wm T Sherman commented:
If anyone interested in a primer on nuclear weapons design principles, in order to see the issues in play, I recommend this site:
http://nuclearweaponarchive.org/
The site is not flashy nor elegant, a little clunky by modern standards, but — if you navigate through it, you can learn a great deal.

Will they all be drinking Coca Cola? News flash, Coke execs in talks with North Koreans on introducing Coke to the masses.

I think they are just working for food.
gus commented:
Selling COCA-COLA to North Korea, is a problem. North Korea having nukes and helping Iran to get their own NUKE WARHEADS isn’t?????
WTF??
sclemens commented:
Can you say “Two-fer?” Bombing them back to the stone-age is within reach.
Matt commented:
Are there really 100s of NK nuclear experts?
ohiochili commented:
Gosh Matt..you’re probably right. Everybody knows it only takes 3 or 4 really smart people to build and maintain nukes.
Why don’t you educate us exactly what is going on in Iran and North Korea? We always like to hear from somebody who thinks they know it all.
Ripped commented:
But according to comments made during the debate, perhaps the most dangerous and willfully naive foreign policy view I have ever heard expressed by Republicans. Michele Bachmann and Rick Santorum.
Two candidates for President of the United States say that because Pakistan has nuclear weapons, we must treat them as our friend whether they are or they are not.
Taking their statements together — and they were in agreement disagreeing with Newt Gingrich and Rick Perry — we have two candidates telling the world that if you betray us, if you harbor Osama Bin Laden, if you cooperate with the Taliban and terrorist groups, if you work with China to undermine our national security, we will treat you as our friend if you have nuclear weapons.
According to these two I suppose we should be allies with N. Korea and Iran too.
Thank God these 2 @$$clowns don’t stand a snowballs chance in hell of being elected.
And hat tip to Gingrich and Perry for copying Ron Paul’s position on Foreign Aid.
Why support a copy cat when you can have the original.

“Hundreds of North Korean Nuclear Experts” and they still can’t produce enough energy to light up a Christmas tree.Without oil, Iran would be in the same dire situation, sitting in the dark every night with their people starving to death. These two are the equivalent of “Dumb and Dumber”.
It’s going to be a new world order when the Oil stops flowing.

GWB said that Iran was part of the axis of evil.. and asked permission to deal with this threat. He was denounced as a warmonger and voted out of office.
Reaping time for the majority peaceniks who were dumb enough to believe burying their heads in the sand would work instead.. oh, and singing “Kumbaya” to their new Messiah – The One, who would bring about peace and prosperity just by being elected.
Has the majority of a “free” nation ever be more deceived?

“Has the majority of a “free” nation ever been more deceived?”
Forget the neoconservative hype. The facts show Iran is not and has not been a nuclear threat to either the United States or Israel.
Politicians, lobbyists, and propagandists have spent nearly two decades pushing the lie that Iran poses a nuclear weapons threat to the United States and Israel. After a brief respite in the intensity of the wolf cries over the past two years, the neoconservative movement has decided to relaunch the “Must Bomb Iran” brand.
On August 13, 2010, on Fox News, former US ambassador to the UN John Bolton implicitly urged Israel to attack Iran’s new light-water reactor at Bushehr before it began “functioning,” the implication being that the reactor represented some sort of dire threat. But the facts are not on Mr. Bolton’s side. The Bushehr reactor is not useful for producing weapons-grade plutonium, and the Russians have a deal to keep all the waste themselves.
Turn your TV off you have been deceived.
