North Korea Continuing to Export Missile Technology

Since North Korea isn’t making as much money anymore from counterfeiting due to the recent US sanctions, so I guess they got to make ends meet some how:

Iran is reportedly stepping up development of long-range missiles. According to an intelligence report given to Reuters by a non-U.S. diplomat, Tehran is pursuing a program code-named Project 111, whose aim is to arm Iran’s Shahab-3 missiles, which experts believe have a maximum range of 2,000 kilometers, with nuclear warheads. The Shahab is based on North Korea’s Rodong missile technology. The report could not be independently confirmed, and an Iranian official who asked not to be named denied the charge.

Reuters also said a German diplomat, citing his country’s intelligence data, confirmed that Iran had purchased from North Korea 18 disassembled BM-25 mobile missiles with a range of 2,500 km, which would render them capable of reaching Israel and Turkey from Iran. Quoting Alireza Jafarzadeh, an Iranian exile in Washington, Reuters said Tehran sharply increased production of the Shahab-3 missiles from less than 20 to around 90 a year.
