Title: Iran missile experts in North Korea "to help with rocket launch"

Summary
: Rocket scientists from Iran were reportedly in North Korea helping with missile tests. The U.N. deemed these actions as illegal. The U.N. security council warned North Korea that these actions would be in violation of the preset agreements made between the two parties. Almost immediately after hearing about the test, Japan deployed their air force and naval forces just off the coast of North Korea. They were all armed with missile defense weapons and were ready for battle.

Reflection: It is becoming increasingly apparent that North Korea doesn't crap about what the U.N. thinks. They consistently disregard the U.N. sanction that they promise, legally, to follow. In my semi-professional opinion, North Korea will not stop their pursuit of nuclear weapons. Oh and Iran sent some scientists over to help them. COME ON!

Evidence:
  • Japanese units carrying Patriot Advanced Capability - 3 missiles were seen leaving japan to North Korea
  • Pyongyang made a statement saying that they would launch a satellite over japan but many experts concluded that it was a missile capable of reaching North America
  • Tokyo gave its military the go ahead to shoot down any North Korean missiles.
  • Japanese media agencies claimed that spy satellite photos were taken of the nose cone of a long range missile in North Korea.

Questions:Why did Iran agree to send over some of their scientists to North Korea? Are the two truly helping each other. If Iran is trying to seem diplomatic about their methods then why are they helping the North Koreans, again
