North Korea publicly dismissed a resolution from the UN's nuclear watchdog criticizing its atomic weapons program, calling the agency's stance an example of 'double standards.' Pyongyang reiterated that its nuclear status is 'irreversible' and that it will not roll back its weapons program regardless of international pressure. The rebuke underscores the continued impasse between North Korea and the international community over denuclearization efforts, with Pyongyang doubling down on its position even as diplomatic pressure mounts from the UN and Western governments.
