North Korea Nuclear Capabilities Surge
IAEA chief Rafael Grossi stated that the isolated nation is making significant advances in its ability to turn out nuclear warheads.
Under the guidance of Kim Jong Un, North Korea has resumed operations at previously decommissioned sites and stepped up reprocessing efforts.
Experts estimate the regime's arsenal now includes dozens of warheads, posing an increasing threat to regional stability.
The expansion comes as the President Trump administration faces a paradox in its North Korea policy, potentially needing to reassess core US goals in the region.
