Israeli President Shimon Peres has accused North Korea of smuggling missiles to Iran. He says North Korea has become a "duty free for long-range missiles and nuclear weapons.”

Peres provided no proof to back up his claims but he said that the weapons smuggled from North Korea flow straight to Iran which he says arms and strengthens the world's global terror network, including Hezbollah in Lebanon and other groups in Syria.

He said Israel was observing the smuggling trend with "open eyes."

Peres made similar allegations last month in which he accused Syria of providing Scud missiles to Hezbollah guerrillas in Lebanon.
