This Forbes article discusses the consequences of economic collaboration between Iran and North Korea, two states the United States considers "rogue" and highly dangerous. The two states have been doing business together for quite some time in an effort to skirt crippling sanctions placed on them by the United Nations and recently signed an agreement to kick off scientific and technological collaboration as well.
Many (especially in the United States) are extremely concerned about this development - it is suspected that the nations are using the agreement as a front for exchanging information regarding the development of nuclear weapons. Deeply impoverished North Korea has already demonstrated willingness to sell sensitive information to the highest bidder, and Iran (according to the article) is flush with oil money that it is eager to put to good use pursuing nuclear technology.
Perhaps it is time to begin intense investigations designed to freeze illicit North Korean assets worldwide to cripple the regime.
