Will Iran Following North Korea’s Lead?

Posted by Matt in October 11th, 2006

ISTANBUL, TURKEY – Days before North Korea reported that it had conducted its first-ever nuclear test, it stated why it would defy the world to join the nuclear club.

“The US extreme threat of a nuclear war and sanctions and pressure compel [North Korea] to conduct a nuclear test,” the Foreign Ministry in Pyongyang warned last week.

That reasoning resonates in Tehran - even though comparisons are limited between North Korea and Iran, which is still a signatory to the Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty (NPT).
