(Reuters) - North Korea's leader received a report from his army on its plans to fire missiles toward Guam and said he will watch the actions of the United States for a while longer before making a decision, the North's official news agency said on Tuesday.
North Korea said last week it was finalizing plans to launch four missiles into the waters near the U.S. Pacific territory of Guam, and its army would report the strike plan to leader Kim Jong Un and wait for his order.
Kim, who inspected the command of the North's army on Monday, examined the plan for a long time and discussed it with army officers, the official KCNA said in a report.
"He said that if the Yankees persist in their extremely dangerous reckless actions on the Korean peninsula and in its vicinity, testing the self-restraint of the DPRK, the latter will make an important decision as it already declared," the report said.
The DPRK stands for North Korea's official name, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
Pyongyang's detailed plans for the strike near Guam prompted a surge in tensions in the region last week, with U.S. President Donald Trump warning he would unleash "fire and fury" on North Korea if it threatened the Unite States.
South Korean and U.S. officials have since sought to play down the risks of an imminent conflict, helping soothe global concerns somewhat on Monday.
Kim said the United States should make the right choice "in order to defuse the tensions and prevent the dangerous military conflict on the Korean peninsula," the KCNA report said.
The visit to the Strategic Force of the Korean People's Army (KPA) marks Kim's first public appearance in about two weeks.
The North's leader ordered the army should always be fire-ready should he make a decision for action, the report said.

It is simply amazing, the number of dudes taking all of Kim's fake-phoney hyperbole with the slightest degree of seriousness. More likely, those NK generals wud sooner kill KJU with their own hands than see their entire homeland laid to complete waste by a US strike.
I wud not be surprised if an internally triggered 'regime change' happens there, one of these days.

Problem is past American leaders never paid much attention to the Kims. Just that Trump wants to turn attention away from his Russia links by threatening Kim. He just needs an excuse.

A "masuk angin" dictator meets his match in a "masuk angin" president.
Kim have to think twice now. He might end up like Qadaffi or Gen Noreiga of Panama.

North Korean state media said Tuesday that Kim Jong-un had made his decision not to fire on Guam after visiting a military command post and examining a military plan presented to him by his senior officers. But it warned that he could change his mind “if the Yankees persist in their extremely dangerous reckless actions.”
