Though she deleted the tweet, CNN has reported that Kim Jong Un is in grave danger after surgery according U.S officials as well.

It’s reported that Kim recently missed the celebration of his grandfather’s birthday on April 15tg, which raised concerns about his health.

According to Daily NK, a North Korean news source reported that Kim Kong Un received heart surgery on April 12th, and cited smoking, obesity, and overwork as the reasons.

Bruce Klingner, a senior research fellow at the Heritage Foundation and former CIA deputy division chief for North Korea stated:

“There have been a number of recent rumors about Kim’s health (smoking, heart, and brain). If Kim is hospitalized, it would explain why he wasn’t present on the important April 15th celebrations, but, over the years, there have been a number of false health rumors about Kim Jong-un or his father. We’ll have to wait and see.”
