America has sanctioned 6 individuals and 2 entities related to North Korea

According to the ministry’s statement, the companies “Alice” in Russia and “Pioneer Bencont Star” in the UAE are affiliated with the North Korean Chinyong Information Technology Company, and this technology company is also related to the North Korean armed forces.

According to Reuters, international sanctions against North Korea, which have been imposed under the leadership of the United States, have not been able to stop Pyongyang’s missile and nuclear programs in the past years.

Meanwhile, North Korea has increased its missile tests and military exercises in recent months. These exercises have often been carried out under the personal supervision of Kim Jong-un, the leader of North Korea.

Last week, in its latest action, North Korea fired a ballistic missile at the same time as US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken visited South Korea.

Kim Jong-un recently attended the exercise of the country’s airborne forces and supervised their performance, and called for the North Korean army to be fully prepared for any possible conflict.

Emphasizing that the basic task of the North Korean army is to prepare for war, he ordered that the country’s airborne forces be ready to carry out all kinds of surprise war operational plans.

North Korea’s military exercises and missile tests come as the US’s 2024 Annual Threat Assessment reports that Kim will continue to pursue nuclear and conventional military capabilities.

In this report, which was published on Monday by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, it is stated that Kim almost certainly does not intend to negotiate about his nuclear program, which in his opinion guarantees the security of the government and national pride. .
