Tehran, Iran, Oct. 09 United States President George W. Bush accused North Korea on Monday of supplying Iran and Syria with missile technology, hours after Pyongyang announced that it had successfully conducted its first nuclear test.
The North Korean regime remains one of the world’s leading proliferator of missile technology, including transfers to Iran and Syria, Bush said in a statement at the White House.
Last night the government of North Korea proclaimed to the world that it had conducted a nuclear test. We’re working to confirm North Korea’s claim. Nonetheless, such a claim itself constitutes a threat to international peace and security. The United States condemns this provocative act. Once again North Korea has defied the will of the international community, and the international community will respond, he said.
The transfer of nuclear weapons or material by North Korea to states or non-state entities would be considered a grave threat to the United States, and we would hold North Korea fully accountable of the consequences of such action, he added.
