This is John Bachelor, conversation with Professor Bruce Bechtel of Angelo State University,

the author of a book about proliferation in the Middle East and Africa by North Korea,

written in 2018 extremely helpful today, Bruce identifies the missile

barrage and drone barrage launched by not only Hezbollah from Lebanon working for Tehran, but also from Tehran itself on that

mid-April date of firing of missiles and drones at Israel.

Bruce identifies the missiles and details and then this.

Asked about North Korean personnel on the ground in Iran, Bruce very carefully says, I doubt if they fired the missiles but is Bruce Bechtel

Angelo State University author of a proliferation book in the Middle East and Africa

by North Korea.

Example is Iran and its surrogates.

Le Lebanon, the Houthis,

Kataib Hezbollah in Iraq and Hamas as well.

Buspecto, more of this tonight.

North Koreans are certainly in Iran.

I would be surprised if they were actually operating the systems.

They certainly train the Iranians on how to operate those systems, but it was probably Iranians

firing the missiles.

Now the question of were North Koreans present at those firings? I would be

surprised if they were not because the North Koreans have certainly been

present at just about every test launch that the Iranians have ever done and there's hundreds of North Korea excuse me

hundreds of North Koreans on the ground in Iran right now.
