North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has issued a dramatic and explicit warning of military support for Iran, stating that Pyongyang stands ready to provide Tehran with missiles for use against Israel if requested. In his most provocative remarks on the Israel-Iran conflict to date, Kim declared that “one missile is enough to erase” Israel a blunt reference to the destructive potential of North Korea’s ballistic missile and nuclear arsenal.
The statement was delivered during a high-profile military parade and speech broadcast on state television late Thursday, February 13, 2026 (local time), and quickly reverberated through global capitals. It marks one of the clearest public indications yet of North Korea’s willingness to deepen its alignment with Iran amid escalating confrontation between Tehran and the U.S.-led coalition under “Operation Epic Fury.”
