North Korea's Nuclear Status is 'Absolutely Irreversible,' Says Kim's Influential Sister

The influential sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un declared that the country's nuclear weapons status is "absolutely irreversible," reinforcing Pyongyang's commitment to its atomic arsenal. North Korea enshrined its nuclear status in its constitution in 2023, formalizing the country's position as a nuclear-armed state under law. The statement from Kim Yo Jong, who serves as a key advisor and spokesperson for the regime, underscores North Korea's defiant stance toward international pressure to denuclearize and signals the country's intention to maintain and potentially expand its nuclear capabilities despite ongoing sanctions and diplomatic isolation.
