North Korea recently exploded a nuclear device it is claiming to be a hydrogen bomb. Why is the USG fixated on Iran’s lack of nuclear weapons and not on North Korea’s nuclear capabilities? Iran, after all, is a party to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. North Korea was a party to the treaty but withdrew in 1993. I should note also that Israel, India, South Sudan, and Pakistan have never signed the treaty.
