N. Korea rejects IAEA resolution, vows to maintain nuclear force amid US threats

North Korea has rejected a resolution passed by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) that criticizes its nuclear program and calls for an end to its nuclear-related activities. Kim Yo-jong, a senior North Korean official and sister of leader Kim Jong-un, stated that the IAEA's resolution ignores the nuclear threats posed by the United States and other countries while condemning North Korea's self-defensive nuclear capabilities. She accused the IAEA of serving U.S. interests and failing to address the deployment of American nuclear weapons in Europe and extended deterrence agreements with South Korea and Japan. North Korea's foreign ministry also condemned the resolution, asserting that the country's status as a nuclear weapons state is irreversible and does not require international recognition.
