Just a day after Iranian President Ahmadinejad promised Syrian officials that the United States would soon be destroyed new reports are claiming that the Iranians are being helped with their nuclear program by North Korea. Seeking advice from North Korea clearly indicates that Iran is not interested in generating electricity but acquiring weapons with which to threaten the region, and U.S forces deployed in the middle East.

Iran has a troubling recent history of attacking European interest as well, and is continuing to test it’s somewhat over hyped missile program in a belligerent display that could embolden their new allies, who’s military ambitions have been sidelined by China’s lack of support for a North Korea ignited WWIII. The North Koreans may see Iran, who have a good relationship with both China and Russia, as just the type of ally they need to jump into military misadventure with both jack booted feet. They’ve ramped up the anti-Japanese/anti-American rhetoric in recent weeks, maybe they’ve got a reason to feel confident?
