U.S. State Dept. reaffirms denuclearization goal for N. Korea after strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities

Washington on Tuesday reaffirmed the Trump administration's commitment to the "complete denuclearization" of North Korea, after the United States launched strikes at key nuclear sites in Iran over the weekend. When asked whether there was a "lesson" for Pyongyang to learn from the U.S. strikes on the Iranian nuclear facilities, State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce stressed that the administration remained committed to the complete denuclearization of North Korea. However, she added that if the North Korean nuclear issue can't be resolved through dialogue, the State Department was open to "speculation on hypotheticals at this point."
