North Korea boosts nuclear capacity
IAEA chief Rafael Grossi stated that the rapid expansion of North Korea's nuclear infrastructure poses a significant threat to regional and global security.
The isolated nation is believed to be operating multiple enrichment sites, providing it with a more resilient and diverse path to producing weapons-grade material.
This development comes as President Trump faces a paradox in his North Korea policy, with some analysts suggesting he may need to abandon the goal of complete denuclearization.
The international community remains under a raft of sanctions against Pyongyang, but the regime's continued technical progress underscores the challenges of effective containment.
