JERUSALEM – A top Israeli journalist is warning that North Korea is continuing to provide Iran with technology to pursue nuclear weapons, and the Obama administration's plan to negotiate with Iran will only buy the nation time to complete its work.

The comments come from Caroline Glick, a columnist for the Jerusalem Post who this weekend was awarded the prestigious Guardian of Zion award from the Ingeborg Rennert Center for Jerusalem Studies.

In her acceptance speech, she linked Iran to the North Korean-built nuclear reactor in Syria that Israel destroyed with an air attack on Sept. 6, 2007.

"We have to understand that North Korea is continuing to provide Iran nuclear technology," she told WND in an interview, citing ongoing collaboration between the two remaining members of the "Axis of Evil" President Bush first identified after the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center and Pentagon.The third member was Saddam Hussein's Iraq.

Writing in the Jerusalem Post just days before accepting the award, Glick said Tehran spent between $1 billion and $2 billion on Syria's nuclear facility that was built by North Korea.

But the links don't end there.

"It is hard to imagine that it is mere coincidence that North's actions came just a week after Iran tested its solid fuel Sejil-2 missile with a range of 2,000 kilometers," she said of the recent missile tests by both North Korea and Iran.

"Aside from their chronological proximity, the main reason it makes sense to assume that Iran and North Korea coordinated their tests is because North Korea has played a central role in Iran's missile program,â€
