[Ha'aretz] Aluf Benn - Israel is concerned that North Korea will transfer materials and technology for the development of nuclear weapons to Iran, a senior Israeli official said Monday. According to the official, North Korea had issued a warning last week that it would not hesitate to transfer "technology, materials, and nuclear arms" to other countries. North Korea has close defense ties with Iran and Syria and has been a major source for the supply of surface-to-surface missiles and ballistic missile know-how to both countries. The official warned that the North Korean nuclear test is likely to result in Tehran expediting its nuclear development program. Israel joined nations throughout the world Monday who condemned the North Korean nuclear test, and called for a continuation of the "moratorium on nuclear tests."
