North Korea Rejects IAEA Resolution, Affirms Irreversible Nuclear Status
North Korea has rejected a recent International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) resolution calling for a halt to its nuclear activities, stating the resolution has no effect as it is not an IAEA member. The country’s foreign ministry described the resolution as driven by hostile forces and reaffirmed its legally enshrined, irreversible status as a nuclear weapons state. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un recently toured major munitions factories, with officials emphasizing ongoing efforts to strengthen the nation's self-defensive deterrent amid international criticism.
