It’s only been 4 weeks since the start of a new year and seven missiles have been launched

This is a record for North Korea and it’s alarming the international community.

Britain, France and Germany condemn North Korea and they’re urging it to comply with UN resolutions ahead of Security Council talks.

In a joint statement they say the tests interrupt regional as well as international peace and security.

“We strongly condemn these provocative actions, which undermine regional as well as international peace and security and are in clear violation of multiple unanimously adopted UN Security Council resolutions,”
the European powers said in a joint statement.

“We call on the DPRK (North Korea) to implement the decisions of the Security Council in full, to accept the repeated offers of dialogue put forward by the United States and to take concrete actions towards the complete, verifiable and irreversible dismantlement of its weapons of mass destruction and ballistic missiles programmes.”

The US requested an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council because North Korea launched its most powerful missile since 2017 this week.

Foreign ministries say that want North Korea to take concrete actions towards a complete shut-down of its weapons.

North Korea has ramped up its missile tests in recent months… with no sign of stopping.

It’s no secret that North Korea’s leader Kim Jong Un wants to boost his country’s defences.

Foreign ministries say “Such activity is a matter of grave concern and will receive a united response,”

Its not just European leaders, with Japan, South Korea and the US all condemning missile actions too.

Now we know The United Nations already prohibits the country from conducting from ballistic and nuclear weapons tests, imposing strict sanctions.

But Kim Jong Un has ignored these warnings, as the North Korean economy struggles to prosper amid U-S-led sanctions, Covid-19 and mismanagement.

Israel strikes Tehran after Khamenei’s death; U.S. warns of prolonged conflict as tensions escalate in the Middle East.

Israel has launched a new wave of strikes on Tehran, following the reported killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei. U.S. President Donald Trump has warned the campaign could last up to a month, framing the operation as a move to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear capabilities.

Iran has retaliated with missile attacks, while its Revolutionary Guards claim responsibility for assaults on oil tankers in the Gulf. The escalating hostilities are already disrupting global shipping lanes and air travel, sending shockwaves through international markets.

With reports of the first U.S. casualties emerging and Washington declaring the Tehran operation a success, tensions across the Middle East are intensifying rapidly. The question now is how far this conflict could spread — and at what cost.

U.S. and Israel launch major military operation against Iran; tensions rise as conflict escalates, impacting global markets.

The United States and Israel have launched a sweeping military operation against Iran, striking leadership targets and more than 500 military sites in what President Trump has dubbed Operation Epic Fury.

Explosions have rocked Tehran, with civilians fleeing the capital as U.S. sea and air assets carry out sustained attacks. Washington says the mission is designed to prevent a nuclear armed Iran and has even called on Iranians to rise up against the regime.

Iran has retaliated with a barrage of missiles and drones targeting Israel and U.S. bases across the region, including in Qatar, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain. While many projectiles were intercepted, a U.S. base in Bahrain sustained damage.

Gulf states long seen as stable hubs for global business are now directly in the firing line, raising fears of a wider regional war.

Oil prices are climbing and tankers are diverting from the Strait of Hormuz as markets react to the escalating conflict. U.S. aircraft carriers, advanced fighter jets and missile destroyers remain in position, signalling more strikes could follow.

With global leaders scrambling diplomatically, the world is watching to see whether this spirals further or shifts back to negotiations.
