一名朝鲜问题专家告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，在平壤于本周试射导弹之际，美国“永远不能放松对金正恩和朝鲜半岛的警惕”，目前美国正深陷与伊朗的冲突之中。
据日本方面消息，此次试射的短程弹道导弹落在朝鲜东海岸附近海域。发射行动于周四展开，正值美韩计划于本月晚些时候举行联合军事演习之前。
“朝鲜半岛局势仍不稳定。金正恩是一位非常难以预测的领导人，他渴望获得关注，这是美国永远不能放松警惕的问题，”退役海军少将马克·蒙哥马利——防务民主基金会高级研究员——周五对福克斯新闻数字频道表示。
美国称朝鲜导弹发射未构成直接威胁，正与盟友“密切磋商”
“我们在中东面临诸多挑战，在俄罗斯与乌克兰问题上存在挑战，中国也在施压并试图胁迫台湾地区。但你永远不能忘记，朝鲜对韩国的威胁就在眼前，而金正恩不受任何约束，”蒙哥马利补充道。
“不存在任何一股有权势的精英阶层、民众或军队能够推翻他。因此，我们应当始终关注他、留意他，并确保我们持续威慑任何挑衅行为。”

“我们知晓此次导弹发射事件，正与盟友和伙伴密切磋商，”美国印度-太平洋司令部在朝鲜周四发射导弹后表示。
“根据当前评估，这一事件未对美国人员、领土或我们的盟友构成直接威胁，”其补充道。“美国仍致力于保卫美国本土及其在该地区的盟友。”
蒙哥马利周五表示：“每当朝鲜进行弹道导弹试射时，你都必须考虑有三个国家可能是此次信息传递的目标。可能是美国，可能是韩国，也可能是日本，或者三者兼有。”

他还提及日本近期在7月下旬在美国海军的帮助下试射了一枚战斧巡航导弹。
“这或许是对他们的一种回应信号，”蒙哥马利说道。“韩国和美国即将展开乙支自由系列演习……这是我们每年8月在当地举行的规模最大的演习活动。
“近期有大量报道称，美国在伊朗冲突中已经消耗了大量战区弹道导弹防御武器，包括爱国者-3和萨德系统。
)
“这些正是可能用于对抗此类武器的防御系统。此外，美国海军的标准导弹也在中东地区被大量消耗。在所有这些情况下，朝鲜可能是在向这三个国家中的任何一个或三者兼而有之传递信号：我们依然举足轻重，我们不容忽视，你们需要关注我们。”

A North Korea expert told Fox News Digital the United States “can never take their eye off” Kim Jong Un and the Korean Peninsula after Pyongyang test-fired a missile this week amid the ongoing conflict with Iran.
The launch of the short-range ballistic missile, which Japan said landed in the waters off North Korea’s east coast, unfolded Thursday ahead of joint military exercises to be conducted by the U.S. and South Korea later this month.
“There’s this unsettled conflict on the Korean Peninsula. And Kim Jong Un, a very unpredictable leader that seeks attention, that is something the United States can never take their eye off,” retired Navy Rear Adm. Mark Montgomery, a senior fellow at Foundation for Defense of Democracies, told Fox News Digital Friday.

“So, we have all these challenges in the Middle East, these challenges with Russia and Ukraine, these challenges with China pressuring and trying to coerce Taiwan. You can never forget that the North Korean challenge to South Korea is sitting right there, and there are no constraints on Kim Jong Un,” Montgomery added.
“There’s no version of an empowered elite or a population or a military that could unseat him. So, we should always keep our eye on him, pay attention to him and make sure we’re constantly deterring any provocative behavior.”

“We are aware of the missile launch and are consulting closely with our allies and partners,” U.S. Indo-Pacific Command said after North Korea’s launch Thursday.
“Based on current assessments, this event does not pose an immediate threat to U.S. personnel or territory or to our allies,” it added. “The United States remains committed to the defense of the U.S. homeland and our allies in the region.”
Montgomery said Friday that “whenever North Korea does a ballistic missile launch, you have to think there’s any of three countries that could be the intended recipient of the message. It could be the United States. It could be South Korea. It can be Japan, or it could be a mix.”

He described how Japan recently test-fired a Tomahawk cruise missile in late July with the help of the U.S. Navy.
“Maybe this could be a signal back to them,” Montgomery said. “South Korea and the United States are about to start the Ulchi Freedom series of exercises … the most robust series of exercise we have there every August when conducted.
“Recently, there have been a lot of reports the United States has expended a large percentage of its theater ballistic missile defense weapons … Patriot 3 and THAAD, in the conflict in Iran.

“Those are the kind of defensive systems that might be used against this weapon. Also, there’s U.S. Navy standard missiles, which also have been depleted in the Middle East. In all those cases, North Korea could be signaling to any of the three countries or a mix of the three countries that we’re still relevant, we matter and you need to pay attention to us.”
