North Korean leader Kim Jong-un's on-site inspection of a cement factory in North Hwanghae Province the day after the US airstrikes on Iran has drawn attention to his intentions. This contrasts sharply with his father, Kim Jong-il, who remained in seclusion for 50 days during the 2003 US invasion of Iraq, leading some to interpret this as a display of confidence in his possession of nuclear weapons.
