I mean come on. As closed as N. Korea is we still know they have about eight but they don't have the delivery systems to be a major threat beyond the general region. S. Korea and Japan are probably worried, but they can't hit our territory (although there was a "warhead" - non-nuclear - found in Alaska that supposedly originated in N. Korea about 15 years ago). Iran has the delivery system, the technology, and the fuel. I call bullshit that the US military doesn't know they have nuclear weapons.
