North Korea might be building a massive military base in Syria
Zaman Al Wasl, a Syrian news outlet, detailed this month that: “According to … satellite images and
a military source, the underground facility has been under construction for seven years, started by the beginning of the Syrian revolution in March 2011.” The outlet also explained that “the high level of secrecy and tight guard in the North Korean base raise speculations whether it’s a nuclear facility or overseas depot for North Korean weapons.”
U.S. officials who spoke to the Washington Free Beacon stated that they are aware of the reports and will continue to monitor the situation.
“We are aware of reports regarding possible DPRK [Democratic People’s Republic of Korea] assistance to Syria to rebuild its chemical weapons capabilities,” a State Department official told the Free Beacon. “We take these allegations very seriously and we are working assiduously to prevent the Assad regime from obtaining material and equipment to support its chemical weapons program.”
The regional reports of North Korea’s alleged new military
base come at a time in which the Trump Administration has attempted to
increase efforts to counter North Korea’s proliferation in Syria.
“The United States has long expressed its deep concerns about both the assistance the DPRK provides to Syria’s weapons programs and Syria’s ongoing possession and use of chemical weapons – both activities in defiance of multiple United Nations Security Council resolutions,” a State Department official said.
The underground North Korean military base could also be hiding more than just chemical weapons. According to the regional reports, the sheer size of the base itself is an indication that nuclear work was also a possibility. Supposed satellite images of the base appear to show that only a small portion of the facility is visible from above ground.
“North Korea is a significant threat to international security, and the Assad regime’s ongoing use of chemical weapons is a similar affront to international law,” a State Department official said. “We work with all our partners to uphold U.N. Security Council resolutions and prevent North Korea and Syria from further threatening international peace and stability.”

The United States is monitoring information indicating that North Korea may be running a large underground military base in Syria that could be used for advanced weaponry and nuclear-related work, according to regional reports and U.S. officials tracking the situation.
Regional reports have begun to surface indicating North Korea has neared completion of the construction of an underground military base located near Qardaha in Syria, the hometown of embattled Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
"According to … satellite images and a military source the underground facility has been under construction for seven years, started by the beginning if the Syrian revolution in March 2011," Zaman Al Wasl, a Syrian news outlet, reported earlier this month. "The high level of secrecy and tight guard in the North Korean base raise speculations whether it's a nuclear facility or overseas depot for North Korean weapons."
U.S. officials told the Washington Free Beacon they are monitoring these reports and efforts by North Korea to help Assad rebuild Syria's chemical weapons factories.
"We are aware of reports regarding possible DPRK [Democratic People's Republic of Korea] assistance to Syria to rebuild its chemical weapons capabilities," a State Department official, speaking on background, told the Free Beacon. "We take these allegations very seriously and we are working assiduously to prevent the Assad regime from obtaining material and equipment to support its chemical weapons program."
The Trump administration has been engaged in efforts to counter North Korea's proliferation in Syria, particularly its efforts to supply Assad with chemical weapons.
"The United States has long expressed its deep concerns about both the assistance the DPRK provides to Syria's weapons programs and Syria's ongoing possession and use of chemical weapons—both activities in defiance of multiple United Nations Security Council resolutions," the State Department official said.
The underground North Korean military base could be hiding more than just chemical weapons, according to regional reports indicating that the sheer size of the base, which is mostly situated within a mountain, raises concerns of nuclear work.
Purported satellite images of the base circulating on the internet indicate that only a small portion of the facility is visible from above ground.
"Long tunnels have been built during the last seven years in a deep valley in Qardaha under the supervision of North Korean experts," the Zaman Al Wasl outlet reported.
The United Nations recently cited North Korea for its increased efforts to meddle in Syria and provide the Assad regime with new caches of chemical weapons.
This has fueled U.S. concerns about the hermit nation at a time when the Trump administration is pursuing diplomatic talks regarding North Korea's nuclear weapons program.
Evidence that North Korea is working to bolster the Assad regime is likely to fuel further international tensions as Iran and Russia undertake similar efforts. The newest underground facility may facilitate further Iranian and North Korean military collaboration.
The Trump administration is continuing efforts to crackdown on this military collaboration and is urging allies to apply similar pressure.
"North Korea is a significant threat to international security and the Assad regime's ongoing use of chemical weapons is a similar affront to international law," the State Department official said. "We work with all our partners to uphold U.N. Security Council Resolutions and prevent North Korea and Syria from further threatening international peace and stability."
In the American alternative media seems to be common truth that CIA was the North Korean ''leaders' doings" sine qua non "influence ", till President Trump's and White Hats' deterging intervention...
Abundant sources also report, that under N. Korean guidance, military bases were constructed and installed in Syria, for the past seven years.That is, during the sinistrous DAESH-American Deep State prime years in Mideast region...m.l.p.

Regional
reports have recently surfaced that outline how North Korea is nearly
complete in its construction of an underground military base near the
region of Qardaha in Syria. Qardaha is also the hometown of Syrian
President Bashar al-Assad.Zaman Al Wasl, a Syrian news outlet, detailed this month that: “According to … satellite images and
a military source, the underground facility has been under construction for seven years, started by the beginning of the Syrian revolution in March 2011.” The outlet also explained that “the high level of secrecy and tight guard in the North Korean base raise speculations whether it’s a nuclear facility or overseas depot for North Korean weapons.”

North Korean experts,” the Zaman Al Wasl outlet reported.
President Donald Trump and his administration have called on
U.S. allies to join together in an effort to combat these types of
actions, and pressure North Korea and Syria to cease such operations.“North Korea is a significant threat to international security, and the Assad regime’s ongoing use of chemical weapons is a similar affront to international law,” a State Department official said. “We work with all our partners to uphold U.N. Security Council resolutions and prevent North Korea and Syria from further threatening international peace and stability.”
