North Korea’s recent actions have thrust the country into the center of the global nuclear arms race, marking a significant shift in international security dynamics. Since the early 2000s, North Korea has escalated its nuclear ambitions, conducting multiple nuclear tests and advancing its missile technology. This development is particularly alarming because North Korea's growing nuclear arsenal poses substantial risks not only to the stability of the Korean Peninsula but also to global security. The nation’s ability to potentially deploy long-range missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads has raised concerns about a new era of nuclear proliferation and the resurgence of Cold War-style geopolitical tensions.
