As the world turns its attention to reports North Korea has mastered a key component to making a nuclear missile, experts warn that the White House must also keep its eye on Iran.
The concern, is that Tehran will see that if North Korea can get away with building a nuclear weapon in spite of U.S. protests, then it can too.
Adding to worries Iran will try and take advantage of the U.S. focus on North Korea, a top aide to supreme leader Kim Jong-Un is on a ten day trip to meet with Iranian leaders in Tehran. Top officials from North Korea's army, navy and air force are part of the trip.
Nader added that "most of the North Korean relationship with Iran centers on missile systems. North Korea was helping Iran, but now Iran is helping North Korea with technology for inter-continental ballistic missiles."

Thank the previous weak sauce, traitor administration for this.

What can we do? We can't stop the transfer of knowledge. We can't immediately reverse years of foreign policy.
I'm not sure there's anything we can do.
Wait! I got it! We'll draft a strongly-worded letter with the end reading "or else"!

All of the political undermining by the left, this whole "Russian" narrative that they won't let go is making us look like fools to the rest of the world. No wonder N.K. is acting up. They think we are weak, and divided, and they are right. The left needs to get over the fact that Trump won the election, and come back to their elected job description and get to work.

Sounds like Kimmie is taking Trump seriously and looking for backup.
Once again, putting Russia in a tough spot globally. There is a broad game being played, it's not exclusive to the MSM narrative.
My wager would be on Iran wanting nothing more than business relations with NK as it would greatly put them in disfavor with Russia.

The US and it's allies should be calling for peace and diplomacy. They should lift all the sanctions and welcome North Korea into the nuclear club.
North Korea has said that they will retaliate if attacked, seems fair enough. The Russians said the same thing when they were being demonised.
I get the feeling that the only country that will do something 'crazy' is the USA.
The only lunacy evident in recent years is the USA's mindless and murderous interventions in the ME. I hope North Korea gives as good as it gets if it attacked.

It's looking like the "North Korea problem" could become a NK/Iran problem.
