If Iran expected North Korea’s public support for its armed conflict against Israel, it may be disappointed by the Foreign Ministry’s latest back-to-back statements. Pyongyang’s rare official statements concerning Iran showed it is taking the developments seriously. However, while they focused on condemning Israel and the United States, they fell short of expressing support for Tehran. Given the timing of Pyongyang’s initial pronouncement on Israel’s June 13 strikes on Iran, issued in the wake of Russian Security Council Secretary Sergei Shoigu’s June 17 meeting with Kim Jong Un, it is likely the detached tone on Iran was coordinated with Russia’s
position on the conflict.
