It's not in an instructive way. Iran has killed thousands of people outside its borders, directly (e.g. the AMIA bombing [1]) and through its proxies. If we exclude South Koreans, Pyongyang has killed maybe half a dozen people, and those were under Kim Il Sung (the Rangoon bombing in '83 and Korean Air Flight 858 in '87).
