The US, with some justification, will see this turn of events as a threat

responce is to invade before Iran gets the weapons.

With what justification?

We didn't say 'boo' whan North Korea demonstrated its ability to hit one
of our allies, Japan. Israel means a lot less to us economically than
Japan does.

The US should also see N. Korea as a serious threat, if they don't
already. Both places have leaders that have expressed an extreme dislike
for the US.

The reasons the US didn't say "boo" about N. Korea are fairly obvious.
First, there is no oil there and second they really do have WMDs.
Attacking a basically unarmed country is quite a different matter than
going against one with nukes and the ability to send them to US assets.
