Iranian Missile Experts In North Korea To Help With Missile Launch

Japanese warships have been deployed as North Korea prepares its rocket launch

Times Online:

Missile experts from Iran are in North Korea to help Pyongyang prepare for its rocket launch, according to reports.

Amid increasing global concern over the rocket launch, believed by the US and its allies to be an illegal missile launch, Japan’s Sankei Shimbun newspaper claimed today a 15-strong delegation from Tehran has been in the country advising the North Koreans since the beginning of March.

The Iranian experts include senior officials with Iranian rocket and satellite producer Shahid Hemmat Industrial Group, the daily said.

The Iranians brought a letter from Iran President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to North Korean leader Kim Jong-Il stressing the importance of cooperating on space technology, it added.

As tensions increase ahead of the rocket launch, Japan’s Air Self-Defense Force began deploying units capable of shooting down a rocket to the northern prefectures of Akita and Iwate, according to local media.

Early today, units carrying Patriot Advanced Capability-3 missiles left a base in central Japan and will arrive at the northern prefectures on Monday, according to Japan’s national broadcaster NHK.

Tokyo gave its military the green light to shoot down any incoming North Korean rocket on Friday.

Pyongyang has said it will launch a communications satellite over northern Japan between April 4 – 8, but the US and its allies in the region believe the secretive regime is actually planning illegally to test a long-range Taepodong-2 missile that could reach North America.

As Japanese media reports also claimed spy satellites have photographed the nose cone of a long-range North Korean rocket on its launch pad, envoys from South Korea, Japan and the US met in Washington during the weekend to discuss counter-measures to be taken against North Korea.

The three allies have warned that a rocket launch would be in violation of a UN Security Council resolution banning the communist state from carrying out ballistic missile activities.

Pyongyang has resisted pressure to call off the launch and warned that any attempt to shoot down the rocket would be regarded as an act of war.

    WOW! Even though I think VP Biden is a worthless individual I have to give him credit. He was right on the money when he pointed to then candidate Hussein’s lack of experience, and made the prediction that he would be tested quickly. All those cracks at the Bush admin must not seem so funny now, when its down to him and the realization hits that maybe that hokey “axis of evil” crap that he dismissed with his vast experience as a junior senator and community organizer had some truth to it. Or maybe North Korea is the victim here, and the peace loving energy seeking nuclear scientists from Iran are only there as technical support. And maybe if frogs had wings they would not bump their asses when they hop. Our President is already well out of his depth on this one, what will happen when the Russians decide he is piss poor example and he has to face the likes of a stone cold killer like Vladimir Putin. That stupid grin, and fake ass charm will get him nowhere, and certainly won’t net him one iota of respect from the likes of him. Good job, America, hopefully we are now done with the white guilt trip and can begin to realize the consequences of it all.

    Iranians helping the North Koreans….Quelle surprise…. NOT!

    :arrow: hopefully we are now done with the white guilt trip and can begin to realize the consequences of it all.

    You would think…..but I doubt it. Obama’s ilk are not only blind to reality but are incapable of admitting their kumbuhya hope and change savior’s game plan hasn’t worked so far and will never work. They’ll just continue to blame Pres Bush for “messing things up” with his “aggressive stance”. yada yada blah blah bullshit.

    One thing that I dont see anyone talking about is what China did when North Korea last tested a missile – I think in 07…? If memory serves me right they used that missile test to track what the US did with our satellites and all – I thought it exposed something to them. I cant find the article right now. But with that in mind I think China is once again using this to check our defenses. North Korea does nothing without China’s approval and it’s seems odd after North Korea being ‘Good’ for the past year or so – that they’d do this now. Maybe they are testing 0′s response – whether he has the balls to shoot it down or not…

    China really really wants Taiwan back! IMO they will one day invade Taiwan and it maybe sooner now that we have BHO in office.

    And the latest cyber hacking that has taken place is reportedly from China. This goes hand in hand.
