US and Israeli strikes on Iran underscore America's stance on North Korea's nuclear program, signaling to Pyongyang that nuclear weapons may not guarantee security.

Building on a Chainalysis report documenting $2.02 billion in 2025 cryptocurrency thefts by North Korean hackers, a U.S. State Department official told a U.N. meeting that Pyongyang likely stole more than $2 billion last year to support its nuclear and missile programs. The figure aligns with Multilateral Sanctions Monitoring Team findings of over $1.6 billion stolen from January to September 2025.
