An Iranian news agency reported: “Hair-trigger situation used to be created at any time over the past decades on the Korean peninsula. If another Korean war had been broken out, it would have been the most catastrophic war unknown in the world. However, peace and security on the Korean peninsula were ensured as Leader Kim Jong Il crushed all acts of imperialists for military provocation with his matchless courage and audacity while on his ceaseless long march toward Songun. As there was the Songun leadership of the peerlessly great man, the reliable outpost line of peace could be laid in the East. His achievement will vividly be marked in the human history as he made a huge contribution to the cause of anti-imperialist independence by stoutly frustrating the power politics and arbitrary acts of imperialists.”
