North Korea is nuclear & they have already been repeatedly caught selling weapons to terrorists.

Iran is an identifiable state.
If it gives a nuke to anyone to use or uses one, it is on the map.
That is kind of a self-preservation resistance to throwing them around willy nilly.

I would worry about their connections to Hezbollah, but in light of the US"s catastrophic actions in the world we are hardly the ones to start asking tough questions about responsible behavior of nation-states.

Pakistan is already nuclear.
Pakistan's general population supports the taliban, al qaeda & doesn't like [hates?] the US.

Pakistan is politically unstable.
Pakistan is antagonistic to India.
Pakistan is a far greater problem & threat on about twenty different levels compared to Iran.
North Korea, that is so cash desperate is more of a threat than Iran would likely be.

As usual, we ignore the murderous 800 pound gorillas sitting next to us & focus on the 200 pounder sitting very distant from us.
