A delegation led by North Korea’s cabinet minister for international trade, Yun Jong Ho, visited Iran on Wednesday, marking a rare public report of exchange between the two countries. North Korea and Iran have long been suspected of collaborating on ballistic missile programs, potentially involving technical expertise and component exchanges. The visit raises concerns as Iran has supplied missiles to Russia for use in the Ukraine war. North Korea may also be providing Russia with missiles and artillery. The delegation’s visit underscores North Korea’s growing engagement with Russia and Iran despite international sanctions.
