At the moment, an investigation into the circumstances of how this country has managed to make such a leap in technology. We check if any current or former nuclear power has played a role, whether intentionally or not,
said Johnson, without specifying who could provide the alleged assistance to Pyongyang.At the same time, according to the newspaper, the list of "suspects" in the provision of secret assistance is headed by Iran. What motivated such suspicions, the publication does not specify.
“The purpose of the investigation is that finding such a link will give the diplomats new levers of pressure on North Korea,” the publication said.
In addition, according to the report, Russia has come under suspicion of London. However, in this case, no further details are given.
