North Korea has supplied the foundational technology for Iran's ballistic missile program over four decades, with an estimated $3 billion in annual revenue flowing to Pyongyang. The March 2026 attempted strike on Diego Garcia using missiles with North Korean-derived technology, Russia's 2024 veto of the UN Panel of Experts monitoring sanctions, and the U.S. redeployment of THAAD systems from South Korea to the Middle East have brought this long-standing proliferation pipeline into sharp focus, raising questions about whether existing diplomatic tools can stop the flow.
