MENL: Iran paying for North Korea's ICBM program?

Yes, Virginia, there is an Axis of Evil:
Iran has been financing a North Korean program to develop intercontinental ballistic missiles.

Western intelligence sources said Teheran has been financing Pyongyang's intermediate- and ICBM programs for nearly a decade. The sources said the funding was part of a deal in which North Korea would share missile technology and equipment with Iran.

"Anytime you hear of a North Korean success, translate that directly into an Iranian success," an intelligence source said. "You can be sure that within a few weeks, Iran will receive briefings, training and eventually production expertise from Pyongyang."
