North Korea, Iran planning joint nuclear development
North Korea and Iran are holding talks over a plan to export Pyongyangâs Taepodong-2 long-range ballistic missiles to Tehran and to jointly develop nuclear warheads, a Japanese daily said Wednesday. Holding hands and leaping into the abyss. The two countries have been negotiating the deal for about a year and are probably going to reach an agreement in mid-October, the Sankei newspaper reported, quoting defense sources familiar with North Korean issues. According to the plan, North Korea will export Taepodong missile components to be assembled in Iran and will send missile experts to pass on technical knowledge. At least the missile experts will get a good meal. A North Korean arms export company known as the Changgwang Sinyong Corporation is handling the deal with Iranian military and aerospace industry officials, the newspaper added. Plan on sending those missles by ship? Hope they make it, well no, I donât really. Posted by: Steve 2003-08-06 |
