There are fears the regime of Kim Jong-Un (l) could work covertly with Iran’s Ayatollah Khamenei (r)

An expert on the Middle East said that the rogue states’ history of working with Iran means the risk of nuclear co-operation is real.It comes just after North Korea claimed to have successfully tested a hydrogen bomb, reawakening fears over its nuclear arsenal.Warnings about the two nations – both determined to end Western world leadership – were made by Middle East analyst Dr Theodore Karasik.

Dr Karasik described the history of collaboration between the rogue states in an article for the Saudi-backed Al Arabiya News network.He said: “Iran’s ballistic and cruise missiles are a danger to the region and beyond, and Pyongyang is in our minds constantly, even in the hotbed of the Middle East.”

The expert argued that unhinged dictator Kim Jong-Un could be using chaos in the Middle East as a distraction to make quietly make huge advancements with his own nuclear agenda.

Should Iran ever attain nuclear weapons of its own, Israel fears it would be the Islamic Republic’s prime target.This week Israel’s defence minister even declared the nation was more nervous about Iranian power than the rise of ISIS.

Moshe Ya’alon told a security conference he would prefer ISIS to be in control of Syria to Iran.

He said: “If the choice is between Iran and the Islamic State, I choose the Islamic State. They don’t have the capabilities that Iran has.”“Our greatest enemy is the Iranian regime that has declared war on us”.

Nuclear officials say that Iran has not had an active nuclear programme since 2003.This week crushing economic sanctions against the Islamic Republic, which had been in place since 2006, were lifted by Barack Obama on the suggestion of an independent report.

However, Iran has ignored Western pleas to cease its attempts to create nuclear weapons in the past and has even hosted North Korean scientists.As recently as 2011 the countries were said to be collaborating and swapping software that could one day lead to a bomb.
