North Korea says its nuclear weapons status is “irreversible” after the UN atomic agency, the IAEA, adopts a resolution criticizing Pyongyang’s nuclear weapons programme.
Kim Yo Jong, sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, makes the statement through state media KCNA. She accuses the IAEA of “biased viewpoint” and “double standards,” saying these are the “fundamental factor” behind what she describes as the collapse of the international nuclear non-proliferation system.
Across the outlets, the main points align: the IAEA’s resolution is framed by Pyongyang as a rebuke to its nuclear activities, and North Korea responds by reiterating the permanence of its nuclear status while disputing the agency’s approach. The articles differ mainly in emphasis, describing Kim Yo Jong’s role and repeating her criticisms of the IAEA’s methods rather than adding new details about the resolution itself.
