Description: In Rogue Allies, Bruce Bechtol explores the nuclear and cyber dimensions of the alliance. North Korea provided Iranwith highly enriched uranium warhead designs and constructed their underground nuclear facilities. The transfer includes advanced missile boosters, like those for the Hwasong-15. Bechtol also identifies North Korea as a leading global cyber thief, using malware and cryptocurrency laundering to evade international sanctions. This cooperation forms an "axis of resistance" alongside Russia and China, where North Korea acts as a critical technological and hardware provider. (2/4)DECEMBER 1956
