North Korean Nuclear Program

North Korea's nuclear program involves developing and testing nuclear weapons and related technology, mainly to enhance its security and international influence. The country has conducted multiple nuclear tests, demonstrating its capability to produce fissile material—like plutonium and highly enriched uranium—used in bombs. This program has led to global concern due to potential threats to regional and international stability. North Korea argues its nuclear arsenal is essential for deterrence, while many nations seek to curb its development through diplomatic negotiations, sanctions, and international agreements to prevent proliferation and ensure peace.
