A claim alleging that North Korean leader Kim Jong-un threatened nuclear strikes against Washington, DC, and Tel Aviv if the United States used nuclear weapons against Iran has circulated online, but no evidence confirms that he made the statement.
The allegation gained attention after an X user shared a video and post claiming Kim had issued the warning, with the post receiving more than 519,000 views. The claim emerged amid heightened discussion over Iran, US military actions and fears of wider escalation.
