The Chinese are there to keep a lid on the North Korean "pot". Also, Japan would viciously retaliate against North Korea in the event they were struck by that country with anything. Therefore, North Korea is under pressure by nearby nations to stand down from a boisterous war posture. China and Japan would put the clamps on them if it got too serious and started to affect those countries.
However, with Iran, it is an entirely different matter. Russia continues to supply nuclear and military capability just to make another buck for its derelict government and, to this time, no other surrounding nation has chosen to directly take on Iran for its meddling. That is changing as we speak. The US has Iran distantly outpaced in weaponry and will use it to make Iran a sea of glass if required. Current thinking is that this will not last much longer. War is coming unless Iran also backs off.

Because of Iran's location in the Middle East, it's threats toward Israel & that fact they are a major oil producing nation all have Washington concerned about the possibility of a Nuclear arms race.

Because Iran is insane enough to use a nuke. North Korea just wants attention. Like a two year old.

Well because North Korea is not threatening Israel's position as the only nuclear power in the Middle East...So if it's not good for Israel,is not good for the US either...

Two reasons by my estimate:
#1 Location and Oil
#2 Iran and Radical Muslims have swore to wipe Israel from the face of the Earth and kill the infidel and while the North Korea dude may be crazy, they think he loves himself and his lavish lifestyle to much to start a Nuke War. He wants Nukes for power and recognition. Iran pres. wants them to reduce you to dust.
Besides N. Korea dudes name is Kim!
p.s. We (U.S., Europe) are the fidel.

North Korea is also begging us for help. Communism/Liberalism/socialism just doesn't work. Some of the people above me have great answers.
