No, they are not "completely separate."
Yes they are. NK HAS nuclear weapons, while we are moderately sure that Iran nuclear program has been halted.

Both involve the United States, nuclear wepaons and Bush's so-called "Axis of Evil." More to the point, general principles can be applied here.

Do you aim more to attack a country simply because it lacks nuclear weapons, or do you still try your best to solve problems rationally, rather than by force?
Diplomatically is obviously the best option. But, as Iran lacks nuclear weaponry, the threat of force to prevent them from acquiring such weaponry is much more of an option then a country like NK that already HAS nuclear weaponry.
