South Korea and the United States are pushing the Korean Peninsula "to the brink of nuclear war". North Korea's Foreign Ministry's Institute of American Studies warned in a report Monday (June 26th) that the United States is more persistently encroaching on North Korea's sovereignty and security this year, which Pyongyang can no longer tolerate."... The bellicose actions of the United States have pushed military tensions on the Korean peninsula and Northeast Asia into an already extremely volatile situation, on the brink of nuclear war", according to the report published by the official Korean agency (KCNA).

The report castigates Washington and South Korea for their "delusional anti-Communist military confrontation" and "rhetorical threats" and claims that a war on the peninsula "would quickly develop into a world war and a thermonuclear war unprecedented in the world." world", causing "the most catastrophic and irreversible consequences".Trump's efforts in North Korea have been "sabotaged" by "nasty proposals and denials" from Washington.North Korea's Foreign Ministry's Institute of American Studies has warned that Pyongyang will continue to strengthen its self-defense capabilities if Washington persists in its hostile policy against North Korea.

North Korea is subject to severe sanctions from the United States and the UN Security Council for its nuclear and ballistic missile programs, which have not prevented it from developing its military capabilities as a means of deterrence against hostile movements from the West.The United States has maintained a significant military presence on the peninsula since the end of the Korean War in 1953, seen as both a deterrent and a signal of commitment to its South Korean ally.

Recent developments have further exacerbated these tensions. In an unprecedented show of force recently, the United States and South Korea engaged in large-scale military exercises that drew international attention and condemnation, further straining relations on the Korean peninsula. .North Korea says it does not tolerate continued US-led military exercises in the region. It will therefore continue to respond to the joint military maneuvers of its adversaries by organizing its own exercises and developing all kinds of weapons, including long-range missiles.
