North Korea says nuclear status 'irreversible' after UN atomic agency rebuke

North Korea has stated that its nuclear status is now irreversible after being rebuked by the UN atomic agency, the IAEA. This statement comes after the IAEA criticized North Korea's nuclear program, prompting a response from the country's leader, Kim Yo Jong. The IAEA's criticism has led North Korea to claim that the international nuclear non-proliferation system is collapsing due to the agency's biased viewpoint and double standards. This development may increase tensions in the region and have implications for global nuclear security.
