Yes... and we're incredibly interested in both countries.
Also North Korea and Pakistan are, imo, both way less likely to actually use a nuke than Iran is. Iran's leadership really seems to believe that their mission in life is solely to blow Israel off the map. North Korea hates South Korea and the US, but they mostly seem to just want to be left alone to have their stupid little insular cult of personality culture and pretend that they're better than everyone else, and Pakistan's leadership doesn't like India, but they understand that nuking India would be the complete end of Pakistan. Whereas the Iranians don't seem to care about the consequences of nuking Israel.
All of this is just imo, based on what I read.
