مسئولان انگلیس نگران از اماکن ایران به کرۀ شمالی مخفیانه کمک کنند تا سلاح های هسته ای را به دست آورد.
نگرانی مقامات انگلیس از کمک محرمانه ایران به برنامه هسته‌ای کره شمالی
روزنامه دیلی تلگراف در گزارشی مدعی شد: مقامات انگلیس نگران‌اند که پیشرفت ناگهانی کره شمالی در توسعه تسلیحات هسته‌ای‌اش در نتیجه کمک مخفیانه ایران حاصل شده است. به نوشته روزنامه دیلی تلگراف، وزارت امور خارجه انگلیس در حال بررسی این مساله است که آیا کشورهای هسته‌ای کنونی و پیشین به کیم جونگ اون رهبر کره شمالی در توسعه برنامه هسته‌ای و موشکی‌اش کمک کرده‌اند تا وی بتواند کلاهک‌های هسته‌ای را روی موشک سوار کند. مقامات انگلیسی می‌گویند که قابل قبول نیست دانشمندان کره شمالی توانسته باشند به تنهایی به این پیشرفت در برنامه هسته‌ای و موشکی‌شان رسیده باشند. از این رو در حال بررسی یک فهرست از کشورهایی هستند که احتمال دارد در این مسیر به پیونگ یانگ کمک کرده باشند. بنا بر ادعای دیلی تلگراف، ایران در راس این فهرست قرار دارد و احتمال می‌رود که روسیه نیز به کره شمالی کمک کرده باشد.
این مقامات انگلیسی نگران‌اند که احتمالا کشورهایی به کره شمالی کمک کرده و تجربیات، دانش و تجهیزات در اختیار آنها قرار داده و پیونگ یانگ را به سمت تبدیل شدن به یک کشور هسته‌ای سوق داده‌اند.
یک وزیر دولت انگلیس گفت: دانشمندان کره شمالی نیز افرادی با برخی قابلیت‌ها هستند اما واضح است که آنها این کار را در خلاء و به تنهایی انجام نمی‌دهند.

North Korea 'secretly helped by Iran to gain nuclear weapons', British officials fear, Foreign Affairs Secretary Boris Johnson, orders investigation
North Korea’s sudden advancement in developing nuclear weapons may be due to secret support from Iran, British officials fear.
The Foreign Office is investigating whether “current and former nuclear states” helped Kim Jong-Un in his drive to mount nuclear warheads on missiles.
Senior Whitehall sources told The Sunday Telegraph it is not credible that North Korean scientists alone brought about the technological advances.
Iran is top of the list of countries suspected of giving some form of assistance, while Russia is also in the spotlight.
The fear is that outside influences have provided North Korea with equipment or expertise that has moved them closer to becoming a nuclear nation.
“North Korean scientists are people of some ability, but clearly they’re not doing it entirely in a vacuum,” said one Government minister.
Another Foreign Office source said: “For them to have done this entirely on their own stretches the bounds of credulity.”
Boris Johnson, the Foreign Secretary, hinted at his department’s concerns last week as he took questions from MPs about the crisis.
“There is currently an investigation into exactly how the country has managed to make this leap in technological ability,” Mr Johnson said.
“We are looking at the possible role that may have been played, inadvertently or otherwise, by some current and former nuclear states.” He declined to name who he had in mind.
America will tomorrow seek approval from the United Nations Security Council for a ban on exporting oil to North Korea, according to a leaked draft resolution.
British officials have been taken aback by the speed of advancement in North Korea’s nuclear programme.
Last month the regime sent a missile over Japan, while this week an explosion at a testing site measured 6.3 on the Richter scale—10 times more powerful than the tremor from the last such test.
At the start of the year it was estimated that North Korea would need a decade before they could launch intercontinental ballistic missile with nuclear warheads, Government sources said. That has now been slashed to just a few years.
Britain’s most senior Cabinet ministers were briefed on the “fast forward” in the country’s nuclear capabilities at a National Security Council meeting last week, attended by senior intelligence figures.
Theresa May also talked to Donald Trump, the American President, about North Korea just days after he said “all options” remained on the table.
They argue that the "window of opportunity" for action is narrowing and may be closed if left until the end of Mr Trump's presidency.
However the US-UK focus remains on finding a diplomatic solution, with agreement among the UN Security Council being the key target.
Suspicions remain about how North Korea is managing to make such rapid advances in its nuclear programme.
