North Korea has the United States in their crosshairs. On Thursday the country said that their weapons program will "target" the U.S. and they will continue nuclear testing with a third, "higher-level" test.

This, of course, is bad news for the Obama administration which is already working to restrain Iran's growing nuclear threat.

If North Korea goes ahead with the test, it will defy the United Nations and mark the first test under the country's new leader, Kim-Jong-un, who seems to be following in his father's footsteps.
