"Overshadows even Iran"?
Sounds like Iran did some very militant and provocative things, to be singled out as the second most offensive country after NK.
What exactly were those?
Iran, with the exception of the Iran-Iraq war (which Iraq started, with Saddam supported by the US at the time), merely made some idle threats to neighbors it has a beef with.
To contrast, the US has been involved directly in around 10 wars where it has no place --thousands of miles away from home-- in the last 30 years. And lots of proxy wars and interventions. Including toppling the legitimate, democratic at the time, government of Iran, to install the dictatorship of the Shah.
