The Biden administration has ignored the growing military capabilities of North Korea and its strategic alignment with Russia and China. Pyongyang has taken advantage of recent events, like the war in Ukraine, to forge a strong bond with Beijing and Moscow. This deepened economic relationship undercuts the world’s ability to punish North Korea.
Iran has unveiled an advanced version of its Bavar-373 air defense system, claiming that it can intercept American stealth jet fighters. The Bavar-373, showcased during a military parade, has been compared to Russia’s S-300 and the US-made Patriot missile systems. With a range of over 186 miles and an impressive altitude capacity of up to 75 miles, the Bavar-373 is designed to enhance Iran’s air defense capabilities.
