Answer 1

My findings are that this is true as the claim being fact checked was said by Kim Jong-un himself in North Korea’s Supreme People’s Assembly from this past Tuesday. I was not able to locate a Primary source as North Korea is extremely strict regarding media coverage or any sort of publicity. The secondary source I used (Link at the bottom) was a CNN post on MSN titled 'Kim Jong Un uses Iran war to justify North Korea’s decision to keep its nuclear weapons'. The claim of the article is in the title, although it is rather misleading as Jong-un does not directly mention the conflict with Iran as the causation. I belive the only bias my source has when it comes to this topic is wanting to gain more attention and interations with its misleading title. The evidence that supports this claim is that he said it during North Korea’s Supreme People’s Assembly, although he does not directly name drop Iran which could undermine their claim context cues lead us to that conclusion. One hundered percent will not be attempting to contact North Korea or Kim Jong-un for obvious reasons.
