I.e., we'll huff and puff. North Korea and Iran will have ballistic-missile ready plutonium implosion type warheads in place and ready to use, based on the test results, before the Security Council votes on anything.

If either North Korea or Iran tests a nuke, we'll have a real brief time window - maybe 100 days - to invade Iran before their number of missile-ready warheads increases from 1-3 U-235 gun-type warheads to 1-2 dozen, most of them of the plutonium-implosion type.

There were a lot of naysayers on FR between September 12th 2001, and November when we actually went into Afghanistan. A lot of us got impatient as days went by, the World Trade Center tower remants still up, funerals continuing, but no US action overseas, and we/they on FR said the US would do nothing.

Then low and behold, the US military forces suddenly went in with total full force one night in November, and totally kicked the crap out of the Taliban.

Don't be so sure that 'nothing' is happening. I know the frustration, but there is a lot at work here behind the scenes, including (probably) assassination plots against Kim Jong il.
