US reaffirms commitment to North Korea’s denuclearization after Iran strikes

But State Department declines to comment on what US will do if it can’t resolve DPRK nuclear issue through diplomacy

The U.S. reaffirmed its commitment to North Korea’s complete denuclearization on Tuesday in the aftermath of its strikes on Iranian nuclear sites, while declining to comment on what it will do if diplomacy on eliminating the DPRK’s weapons of mass destruction fails.
