Probably after China VS Vietnam and the opening to US capital after 1979 made their suspicions somewhat based. Ideologically speaking. They aren't commie brothers -hands down- no more

Isn't that obvious?
North Korea has always been ahead in areas like ballistic missiles and submarines—indeed, many of Iran's advances in these areas owe much to North Korea.
Iran is fundamentally ahead of North Korea in more conventional military areas, such as tanks and armored fighting vehicles, fighter jets, naval vessels, UAVs, radars and electronic warfare, etc., but in those areas North Korea has also caught up or even surpassed Iran in recent years.
I think Iran's biggest problem is the division of R&D resources between the regular armed forces and the IRGC, while North Korea does not have that division and its entire development effort is centralized under Party directives.
A floating drydock appeared this week in front of the covered shelter protecting the DPRK’s new frigate at the Nampo Shipyard, indicating plans to take the ship out.
We'll get a closer look at the ship soon, although her stern would probably still covered in camouflage.
To be fair, I'd object on specific areas where countries are ahead.
DPRK has very robust traditional 20th century industrial MIC and it's ecosystem.
Iranian industry supporting conventional Artesh(armed forces) generally doesn't really match.
Where Iran shines is IRCG unconventional, 21th century systems.
