North Korea Defends Iran, Declares Israel a ‘Cancer’

North Korea has once again thrown its hat into the ring, this time backing Iran’s dangerous nuclear ambitions and labeling Israel—a steadfast American ally—a “cancer-like entity.” Such vile rhetoric should come as no surprise from Pyongyang, a rogue regime notorious for its disregard of international law and dedication to destabilizing global peace. The Kim regime’s latest outburst, however, highlights something far more sinister lurking beneath the surface: the dangerous alliance forming between regimes committed to disrupting the American-led international order.

The latest tensions erupted after Israel launched “Operation Rising Lion,” a bold and necessary military campaign aimed at crippling Iran’s dangerous nuclear ambitions. This operation was not only justified—it was overdue. Iranian leaders brazenly violated their international obligations by enriching uranium far beyond civilian needs, prompting the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to condemn Tehran’s reckless nuclear escalation. Israel’s decisive actions neutralized key military leaders, including the notorious Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) commander Hossein Salami, alongside top nuclear scientists determined to threaten global security.

Yet instead of applauding Israel’s courage and commitment to protecting its citizens—and by extension, global stability—North Korea chose to spew hateful propaganda. Pyongyang’s Foreign Ministry labeled Israel’s defensive measures as “reckless military attack on civilians,” accusing the Jewish state of “state-sponsored terrorism.” This is nothing but the same tired rhetoric we’ve come to expect from totalitarian regimes that thrive on deflection and deceit.

Iran has retaliated against Israel with missile attacks deliberately targeting civilians, killing at least 24 innocent people. Yet North Korea conveniently omits any condemnation of this legitimate atrocity, choosing instead to vilify a country exercising its inherent right to self-defense. This selective outrage exposes the true nature of the North Korean regime: a hypocritical aggressor masquerading as a defender of sovereignty.

“The daily-escalating Israel’s reckless military attack on civilians in wanton violation of international law and the basic principle of the U.N. Charter is a hideous act of aggression,” the statement railed, “wantonly violating the sovereignty and territorial integrity of a sovereign state and an unpardonable crime against humanity.”

“The present grave situation witnessed by the world clearly proves that Israel, supported and patronized by the U.S. and the West, is a cancer-like entity for the peace in the Middle East and a chief culprit of destroying global peace and security,” it continued.

“The Zionists who brought a new war to the Middle East and the behind-the-scene forces who zealously patronize and support them will be held totally responsible for destroying international peace and security,” the North Korean Foreign Ministry ominously concluded.

Make no mistake: Pyongyang’s statement is more than fiery rhetoric. It signals a deepening axis between Iran and North Korea—two regimes hell-bent on achieving nuclear capability and destabilizing American influence worldwide. Last year, after Hamas terrorists butchered 1,200 innocent Israelis, authorities uncovered North Korean-made weapons used in the massacre, clearly implicating Pyongyang in terror sponsorship. Victims have since filed lawsuits against both Iran and North Korea, highlighting the sinister collaboration fueling terrorism and violence in the region.

The Congressional Research Service recently warned that North Korea possesses enough fissile material for up to 90 nuclear warheads, and Pyongyang’s nuclear program remains dangerously unchecked by international inspectors since 2009. Rafael Grossi, head of the IAEA, recently called North Korea’s nuclear ambitions “off the charts,” underscoring the urgent need for vigilance and strength from the Trump administration.

President Trump has consistently championed bold, decisive leadership to confront threats head-on—whether from Tehran or Pyongyang. His emphasis on America First priorities—securing our borders, revitalizing manufacturing, reforming trade agreements, strengthening education, and ending unnecessary foreign wars—has resonated profoundly with patriotic Americans. Now, as Iran and North Korea openly align against our allies and threaten global stability, this clarity and resolve become more critical than ever.

America must stand firmly with Israel, unequivocally rejecting the dangerous propaganda spewed by North Korea. The alliance between Tehran and Pyongyang should serve as a stark reminder of the threats aligned against freedom-loving nations. The United States under President Trump will not waver in its commitment to confronting regimes that threaten our allies and undermine global security. Now more than ever, we must remain vigilant, resolute, and ready to defend our values against those who seek to destroy them.
