Moral of the story: If you want to dodge conventional ordnance, you might be surprised to get nuclear ordnance instead.
That is, if you keep causing troubles, confident that U.S. ground troops are stretched thin and can't deal with you, you might end up on the receiving side of U.S. nuke.

Pressure will probably work against Iran, but probably not against Suicidal-Kim

It is clear that Iran is being extremely foolish -- the mullahs seem to have no idea what kind of buzzsaw they are running headfirst into.

Credible evidence that NK is selling nukes will result in an immediate US attack which, given the super-hardened nature of NK's nuclear weapons program, could only be done effectively with American nuclear weapons.
We'd also close NK ports with mines, and rail lines with conventional, precision-guided, bombing of the many bridges and tunnels. That would mean the immediate end of NK and starvation of millions of North Koreans. Better them than us. We don't have the means for invading NK on the ground due to access problems and terrain. The NK Army no longer has any combat effectiveness for reasons I won't go into now.
Iran is a different matter. We can destroy enough of its nuclear weapons program with conventional bombing to delay it for about a year, during which time we could overthrow its regime with a ground invasion. That is actually the optimum strategy for eliminating its regime - a "come as you are war" would dramatically reduce their ability to interfere with our buildup.
