Perhaps it is for commercial reasons that the north is going to make another test rocket launch. I am sure Iran really wants this capability. We should be assessing the collaboration between north Korea and Iran to determine potential capabilities. But I think if they do conduct the test then the relations with Iran (probably because of the cash) will be deemed more important than the outcome of the ROK Presidential election.

Japanese news agency: Iran stationed staff in N. Korea in an effort to strengthen cooperation in missile, nuclear development.
TOKYO - Iran has stationed defense staff in North Korea since late October apparently to strengthen cooperation in missile and nuclear development, Japan's Kyodo News Agency reported on Sunday, citing a Western diplomatic source.
The report came as North Korea said on Saturday it would carry out its second rocket launch of 2012 between December 10 and December 22, near the first anniversary of the death of young leader Kim Jong-un's father.
The Iranian mission, Kyodo said, is made up of four experts from Iran's Ministry of Defense and firms close to it. Citing the source, it said they were staying at a military facility 85 km (53 miles) from the North Korean border with China.
