Unverified social media profiles claimed Israeli missiles struck the North Korea embassy in Tehran, Iran, sparking a viral statement attributed to Kim Jong Un.

However, there is no evidence of the North Korean leader making such a statement, and major news outlets have not confirmed the embassy was hit.

North Korea did condemn recent US/Israeli strikes on Iran as 'illegal aggression' and backed Iran's new leader, but no specific mention was made about their embassy.

The claims are likely misinformation amid the ongoing conflict between Iran, Israel, and the US.
