North Korea's New Law Allows For Nuclear 1st Strike, Makes Policy "Irreversible"
North Korea has passed the law that enables it to carry out preventive nuclear strikes and declare its status as a nuclear armed country “cannot be changed”, said the government media Friday.
The announcement came when the relationship was destroyed between the north and south, with Pyongyang blamed Seoul for the outbreak of Covid-19 in his area and recorded the number of weapons tests this year.
The law will allow North Korea to make a “automatic” preventive nuclear strike “and” “Immediately to destroy hostile troops,” when a foreign country becomes a threat that will soon occur to Pyongyang, the official said Korean News Agency (KCNA).
With a new law enforced, “The status of our country as a nuclear arms state has become unchanged,” said leader Kim Jong Un, according to KCNA.
Kim in July said his country was “ready to mobilize” his nuclear ability in any war with the United States and South.
He asserted that Pyongyang would never hand over the nuclear weapons needed to fight hostility from Washington.
There was absolutely no one handing over nuclear weapons first, and there was no denuclearization and there was no negotiation,” he said during a speech at the North Korean rubber stamp parliament on Thursday, according to KCNA.
A blitz from the North Korean weapons test since January including the shooting of intercontinental ballistic missiles in full reach for the first time since 2017.
Washington and South Korean officials have repeatedly warned that the North was preparing to do what would be the seventh nuclear test.
Nuclear talks and diplomacy between Washington and Pyongyang have been slipping since 2019 due to sanctions and what will be willing to surrender.
Seoul last month offered Pyongyang a “brave” assistance plan that would include food, energy and infrastructure assistance in return for the north which left his nuclear weapons program.
But Pyongyang mocked the offer, calling it “high absurdity” and Pyongyang’s agreement will never accept.South Korean Hawkish President Yoon Suk-Yeol said last month his government had no plans to pursue his own nuclear prevention.
