North Korea threatens nuclear attack after claiming Trump CIA director 'shakes little fists' at regime
North Korea will launch a "powerful nuclear hammer" at the "heart" of the United States if President Trump attempts a regime change in Pyongyang, North Korea's state news agency warned Tuesday.
The statement comes amid heightening tension between the two nations, including a recent intercontinental ballistic missile launch showing the rogue state has the capacity to deliver a nuclear warhead as far as Alaska - as well as shows of force by the US Air Force and Navy, and recent comments by CIA Director Mike Pompeo at the Aspen Security Forum in Colorado last week.
Although Pompeo did not explicitly state that regime change is on the table, the official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) stated that his remarks "have gone over the line, and it has now become clear that the ultimate aim of the Trump Administration … is the regime change.
Therefore, the North Korean news agency warned that even "the slightest sign of attempt to remove our supreme leadership" will lead to a "merciless blow" with its "powerful nuclear hammer.
Pompeo, however, barely alluded to regime change in an interview where he focused on the importance of "separating" the regime of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un from his burgeoning nuclear arsenal.
"These weapons systems still need development and testing," said Pompeo, "to the extent we can convince China it's in its best interest to help us convince Kim it's not in his best interest to move down that path.
There are lots of ways to narrow the (nuclear) capacity band.". Pompeo said the subject of North Korea comes up in almost every meeting he has with Trump.
And he said the CIA is working on a "wide range of options" to deal with the threat, and "those answers will be delivered almost certainly alongside our partners at the Department of Defense.".
"There are things we can do to keep the (nuclear) capability out of Kim's hands," Pompeo said before addressing a direct question about regime change.
"As for the regime, Im hopeful we will find a way to separate that regime from this system.". The North Korean news agency said those remarks demonstrate Pompeo's "illiteracy" about North Korea and "an explicit illustration of incompetence of the U.S.
intelligence community." It then went on to threaten Pompeo directly, saying he will "bitterly experience catastrophic and miserable consequences" by daring to shake his "little fists" at the Kim regime.
If its "supreme dignity" is threatened, North Korea "must preemptively annihilate those countries and entities that are directly or indirectly involved in it by mobilizing all kinds of strike means including the nuclear ones," according to the KCNA.
Pompeo actually argued in Aspen that he believes that Kim understands his "core mission" is to keep himself in power. Thus, Kim has taken what Pompeo believes are "rational" responses to the uptick in threat posture from the U.S.
military such as reaching out for help from South Korea's new president to "get us to back off and stop pressing just as hard as he is.".
"You can certainly characterize that as a rational response to the threat he perceives from the U.S. and our allies," said Pompeo, "Kim is certainly capable of responding to things that are in his regime's best interest.".
Asked for comment, a CIA spokesperson said, We. will let the Director's words stand without additional comment.

North Korea: US detects signs of new missile test, official says
https://i. guim. uk/img/media/1a61c8905cc775b4e893852a80236a1e8d1e8906/0_131_4000_2399/master/4000. jpg?w=620&q=55&auto=format&usm=12&fit=max&s=5cd76989ba5a65ae551a7f67d7e1cf10. The Pentagon has picked up signs that North Korea is preparing for another missile test, a US defense official said on Tuesday, as the US cited progress in pushing China to impose tough new UN sanctions.
Speaking on condition of anonymity, the official told AFP that if the test goes ahead, it would "probably" occur on 27 July, which is the 64th anniversary of the signing of the Korean armistice agreement.
The date is a public holiday in North Korea and celebrated as Victory Day. The official said the test would be of either an intermediate-range missile or North Korea's ICBM – known as a KN-20 or a Hwasong-14.
That would be the second time Pyongyang has tested an ICBM, after its 4 July rocket launch that caused global alarm.
Experts said it could have put Alaska in range, bringing Pyongyang's long-held dream of a missile that can deliver an atomic warhead to the US within reach, and presenting Donald Trump with a stark challenge.
South Korea's news agency Yonhap quoted a government source as saying Seoul had seen North Korea moving transporter erector launchers carrying ICBM launch tubes in North Pyongan province. "They're setting up for something," a second US defense official told AFP.
After North Korea's 4 July test, the US launched a push at the UN for tougher measures against Pyongyang. US ambassador Nikki Haley on Tuesday cited progress in talks with China on imposing what she termed as "pretty serious" new UN sanctions.
The US has been locked in negotiations with China for nearly three weeks on a new raft of measures, and Haley said China was negotiating with Russia separately on possible tougher sanctions. "I think we are making progress," Haley said.
"It's not as fast as I would like but these are pretty serious sanctions and so I think that there is a lot of thought going into this.
Haley told the UN security council after the test that she hoped to present new measures in a few days, such as cutting off oil supplies, banning North Korean guest workers or imposing new air and maritime restrictions on North Korea.
In all, six sets of UN sanctions have been imposed on North Korea since it first tested an atomic device in 2006, but two resolutions adopted last year significantly toughened the sanctions regime.
Haley said the true test will be Russia's role. Moscow maintains the 4 July launch was not an ICBM, citing its defense ministry's assessment.
Moscow has also argued that sanctions are not the answer to rein in North Korea, and that talks, as advocated by Beijing, were needed.
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, who personally oversaw the 4 July launch, described it as a gift to the "American bastards. CNN cited a US defense official saying transporter vehicles carrying launching equipment were seen arriving at Kusong last Friday.
Kusong has been the scene of past tests, including in May when an intermediate-range ballistic missile traveled more than 700km (435 miles). The North last week refused to respond to the South's offer to open dialogue to ease tension.
"We're keeping close surveillance on the North for possible provocative acts," a South Korean defense ministry spokesman told AFP.
Yonhap also quoted a different government source as saying that an 1,800-ton North Korean submarine in the Sea of Japan may be collecting data to prepare for a ballistic missile test-launch from the North's largest submarine.
The North last August successfully test-fired a submarine-launched ballistic missile.
