North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has called for a major expansion of the country's nuclear arsenal, describing nuclear weapons as the foundation of North Korea's sovereignty and security. During a high-level Workers' Party meeting, Kim reportedly ordered an accelerated buildup of nuclear capabilities, missile systems, and strategic military assets amid rising tensions with the United States and its allies.



The announcement comes as Pyongyang continues to strengthen its defense posture and deepen ties with countries opposed to Western pressure, including Iran and Russia. Kim also criticized what North Korea views as hostile policies by Washington and its partners, warning of a prolonged confrontation if military pressure continues.



The move has raised concerns among global security experts, who fear a new phase of military escalation in East Asia. With North Korea expanding nuclear material production and advancing missile technology, questions are growing over how the United States, South Korea, Japan, and the international community will respond.



Will Kim Jong Un's latest nuclear push reshape the global security landscape? Watch the full report.

00:20A dramatic escalation from East Asia, where North Korean leader Kim Jong-un is once again
00:28pushing for a massive expansion of his country's nuclear arsenal, in a move that is already
00:33raising global alarm.
00:35According to recent reports from state media, Kim Jong-un has called for expanding North Korea's
00:42nuclear capabilities with a goal of overtaking the world, signaling an aggressive new phase
00:48in Pyongyang's military posture.
00:51The statement came during a high-level meeting of the Workers' Party of Korea Central Committee,
00:56where leadership reviewed national defense strategy and future military development plans.
01:03Officials say North Korea's nuclear forces are being described as the core of military
01:09sovereignty, with Kim emphasizing that the country must continue strengthening its deterrent
01:14without a pause.
01:16The plan reportedly includes a rapid expansion of nuclear materials production, development
01:22of advanced missile systems, and strengthening of strategic naval assets, including a new
01:28large missile-capable warship.
01:31This latest declaration reinforces North Korea's long-standing position that its nuclear weapons
01:38program is essential for survival against what it calls hostile forces led by the United
01:44States and its allies.
01:45But this time, the rhetoric has taken a sharper tone, with Kim framing nuclear expansion as
01:52part of a broader ambition to build a globally-dominant defense capability.
01:57Analysts say this move also highlights North Korea's alignment with other sanctioned powers,
02:03including Iran, as part of a wider pattern of anti-Western military cooperation and strategic
02:10signaling.
02:10In recent years, both North Korea and Iran have faced heavy international sanctions, and both
02:17have continued advancing sensitive military technologies despite global pressure.
02:23Experts mourn that such parallel developments could deepen global tensions, especially as concerns
02:29grow over potential technology sharing or indirect cooperation between sanctioned states.
02:35The international community has repeatedly urged Pyongyang to halt its nuclear expansion.
02:41But North Korea has instead accelerated testing programs and production capacity in recent years.
02:48With this latest statement, Kim Jong-un appears to be sending a clear message.
02:53North Korea intends not only to maintain its nuclear arsenal, but to expand it at an unprecedented
03:00scale.
03:01The situation remains highly volatile, and global security observers are watching closely for
03:06any further missile tests or military demonstrations in the coming weeks.
