New Delhi, March 4 -- As tensions in the Middle East intensify following military strikes involving the United States, Israel and Iran, social media users across the world have found an unexpected figure to feature in viral memes - North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.

While the ongoing conflict centres on the US-Israel military campaign against Iran, internet users have humorously cast Kim as an outsider watching global events unfold from the sidelines.

Memes circulating widely online portray him as a curious observer of the escalating situation. In several viral posts, Kim is shown looking through binoculars or staring at a screen, accompanied by captions such as, "Are you monitoring the situation, son?"

The joke reflects the contrast bet...
