Nukes, Missiles, and Feints: The Real Deal on Iran and North Korea
A Conversation about the Current Situation in North Korea and How it Differs from Iran
Washington DC – April 16, 2013– Press Advisory – The rhetoric from North Korea has become increasingly hostile. Last Friday, the country warned that “nuclear war is unavoidable” and declared that Tokyo would be its first target in the event of a war on the Korean Peninsula. This statement is just the latest in an escalating war of words and rising tensions between North Korean officials and the United State. Join Truman Project President Rachel Kleinfeld – just back from Japan – and an expert panel as they discuss the current situation in North Korea, how the situation differs from that of Iran, and how we can better understand Asian hard security and the nuclear challenge. Breakfast will be served.
