Tune in here to this Thursday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show! 

We’re joined by Dr. Bruce Bechtel from Angelo State University to talk about the deepening alliance between North Korea and Iran, and the growing threat their cooperation poses to global stability. In this insightful interview, Dr. Bechtel explains how North Korea has long supported Iran’s missile and nuclear infrastructure, detailing the technical support and weapons transfers that have shaped Iran’s current arsenal—some of which have been used against Israel in recent attacks.

He describes how North Korean engineers built underground nuclear facilities in Iran and highlights the role of Chinese-North Korean cooperation in sustaining Iran’s military capabilities. Dr. Bechtel also warns of future arms transfers to Iranian proxies like the Houthis and discusses whether a third theater of conflict could emerge. His analysis, based on decades of intelligence and research, underscores the urgency of confronting this axis of rogue states before it escalates into a broader regional or global conflict.
