Yes, I can see that Pakistan would pose a greater threat than the US or Israel, due to their too close a connection with al Qaeda prior to 9/11. And the Taliban is beginning to make a comeback. Is Iran more worried than the US? Not really, I suspect. I think they are keeping their eyes open, for now.
And Iran IS a threat to Israel, and Russia is taking advantage of the situation by providing them with their old arsenal of SCUDs. Iran's possession of these is the worry now, while they are diligently pursuing their nuclear program.
N. Korea is pretty weak in comparison to Russia and China, so I don't believe Iran would be too worried there, either.
