North Korea tests solid-fuel missile engine, boosting threat to US mainland

IMO the DW-flagged connection to the Iran war is the thread to pull: if Kim issues further statements tying Pyongyang’s posture to the Iran conflict, this test becomes part of a broader anti-US alignment narrative. Need to keep an eye out for more launches…if this is just posturing it’s par for the course for NK and on-brand to try and help their other despotic buddies.
