North Korea's Constitutional Update Mandates Nuclear Retaliation if Kim Jong Un is Assassinated
North Korea has revised its constitution to mandate an automatic nuclear strike if its leader, Kim Jong Un, is assassinated by a foreign power. This constitutional change was reportedly adopted following the assassination of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in a U.S.-Israeli operation. The revision, approved by North Korea's Supreme People's Assembly, specifies that if the command-and-control system over the state's nuclear forces is endangered by hostile attacks, a nuclear strike will be launched immediately. This update reflects North Korea's heightened security posture amid global tensions and its ongoing adversarial stance towards the United States and South Korea.
