North Korea's #2 Top Official Cuts His Trip Short To Iran As The Crisis Between The U.S. And North Korea Intensifies

Iran's President Hassan Rouhani meets with North Korea's ceremonial head of state, Kim Yong Nam in 2013.

NK: North Korean delegation wraps up Iran visit

Trip included opening of new embassy and meetings with foreign representatives: KCNA

A delegation that included two high ranking members of the North Korean government departed from Iran on Monday following a four-day diplomatic visit, according to the state-run Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) on Monday.

Kim Yong Nam, President of the Presidium of the Supreme People’s Assembly, led a North Korean delegation to Tehran on August 3 and was joined by Choe Hui Chol, vice-minister of Foreign Affairs.

According to state media coverage of the delegation, the purpose of the visit was to attend the inauguration ceremony of Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, who was reelected for a second term in May.

Subsequent reporting by state media, however, also revealed that the group was also in Iran to oversee the opening of newly-constructed DPRK embassy in Tehran.

WNU Editor: No one else is reporting this .... so I guess this is a WNU exclusive. But this North Korean visit to Iran was suppose to be a 10 day trip, not 4 .... North Korea's #2 Official Is In Iran For 10 Days (August 5, 2017). The only person who could have ordered him back like this has to be North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un. It makes you wonder .... what does Kim Jong-Un know that we do not?

I don't believe in a military conflict, but I can be wrong and, I have to acknowledge, dark clouds are coming.

This is indeed interesting. Of course we are not hearing about this. To report on such, would lend credence that perhaps DJT's diplomatic effort in getting China and Russia to sign onto sanctions against NK is working. If we had their cooperation, we could solve this problem.

For the official to cut his trip short is an extreme action. They do NOT fear America as they have always had confidence they would be protected by China and Russia in such situations. Perhaps that support is not as strong as it once was. I suppose we shall see.
