 North Korea threatens U.S. with pre-emptive nuclear strike. North Korea warned the United States about the possibility of carrying a pre-emptive nuclear strike over its attempts to unleash a nuclear war by deploying its strategic capabilities on the Korean Peninsula, the Korean Central News Agency reported. The agency's commentary comes as a response to the U.S. decision to deploy a B-52 nuclear strategic bomber and a fifth generation F-22 Raptor stealth fighter jet to the south of the Korean Peninsula. This is the intentional nuclear war provocation moves of the U.S. driven into a tight corner at home and abroad, the agency said. According to the document's authors, the U.S. is scheming to pave the way for its resurrection in the Korean Peninsula regarding the nukes of tyranny as an almighty solution, but its attempt can never be realized. It accuses Washington of operating the nuclear war mechanism by deploying all nuclear strategic assets including strategic nuclear submarine, nuclear carrier and nuclear strategic bomber to the region in order to ease the puppet forces of South Korea. Pyongyang views these actions as a grave military movement of pre-emptive nuclear attack aimed at physical removal of North Korea. The U.S. would be well aware that the Korean Peninsula is in a state of war by law and its strategic assets deploying in the puppet region are the first targets of destruction the agency added. The period when the right to pre-emptive attack was the monopoly of the U.S. has already come to an end. Now that the U.S. and gangsters of the Republic of Korea have committed a provocation of nuclear war against the Democratic Republic of Korea, the North Korea will take corresponding option, the commentary said. In late September, North Korea's Supreme People's Assembly has passed a law on constitutional amendments enshrining the status of the country's nuclear forces and their accelerated development to guarantee the country's right to existence.
