North Korea has adopted a new nuclear policy allowing an automatic nuclear strike if leader Kim Jong Un is assassinated or if the country’s command system is threatened. The move reportedly came after Pyongyang closely studied recent US-Israel operations targeting top Iranian leaders.

Under the revised law, North Korea’s nuclear retaliation may now launch immediately without direct orders if the leadership is incapacitated during an attack. Experts warn the policy could dangerously lower the threshold for nuclear war and increase the risk of catastrophic miscalculation during a conflict.

At the same time, North Korea is reportedly preparing to deploy new long-range artillery systems near the South Korean border, potentially placing Seoul within striking range. As tensions escalate, fears are growing over the possibility of a sudden nuclear confrontation in East Asia.

00:05Pyongyang has reportedly adopted a new policy that would trigger an automatic nuclear strike
00:11if leader Kim Jong-un is assassinated or incapacitated during a foreign attack.
00:17And according to reports, the move may have been directly influenced by recent U.S. and
00:23Israeli operations against Iran. That is where this story becomes even more explosive.
00:30The constitutional revision was reportedly approved during North Korea's Supreme People
00:35Assembly session in Pyongyang on March 22.
00:40Under the revised law, Kim Jong-un still controls North Korea's nuclear arsenal, but now the
00:47country has formally laid out what happens if the leadership is targeted.
00:53According to the updated policy, if North Korea's nuclear command and control system is placed
00:59in danger by hostile forces, a nuclear strike shall be launched automatically and immediately.
01:06That single line is now sending shockwaves through the international community, because critics
01:12fear it lowers the threshold for nuclear war, especially during moments of confusion, conflict,
01:18or miscalculation. And there is another key detail. Reports say this policy shift comes just months
01:26after top Iranian leaders, including Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and several senior
01:32advisers were assassinated during U.S.-Israeli military operations. Experts believe North Korea
01:39watched those strikes very closely.
01:43Professor Andrei Longkov of Cookman University says Iran became a wake-up call for Pyongyang.
01:49According to him, North Korea saw how rapidly and efficiently Iran's top leadership was eliminated,
01:56and fears it could one day face a similar decapitation strike.
02:00But unlike Iran, North Korea is one of the most isolated countries on Earth. Foreign diplomats,
02:07business visitors, and aid workers are heavily monitored. Its internet is tightly restricted,
02:13its surveillance systems are controlled internally. And experts say this makes intelligence operations
02:19inside Pyongyang far more difficult than in Tehran. Still, North Korea appears deeply worried
02:26about modern surveillance and satellite tracking technologies. Kim Jong-un himself is known for
02:32extreme security precautions. He rarely travels by air, he moves in heavily armored trains, and travels
02:40surrounded by intense protection. But Pyongyang is not stopping there. Reports also say North Korea plans
02:47to deploy a new long-range artillery system near the South Korean border this year. State media claims the
02:54new 155-millimeter self-propelled howitzer and strike targets over 37 miles away. That means central Seoul
03:04could potentially fall within range. North Korea says the new artillery system will bring significant
03:10advantages to its ground operations. For now, the message from Pyongyang is clear. Any attempt to remove Kim
03:18Jong-un from power could risk triggering an immediate and catastrophic response. And in a world already facing rising
03:26tensions between nuclear powers, that warning is now impossible to ignore.
