  1. The DPRK is built around self-sufficiency as a founding principle, and as such can do whatever they want. Iran is more self-sufficient then most, but still can't tank sanctions the same way.

  2. The DPRK has a defensive alliance with China which of course makes the west more hesitant to bomb them while Iran for the most part is alone.

  3. As a poster here from Iran has said, there might be a dangerously high number of liberals in Iran's government who want to be accepted by the west rather then stand up against them.
