You can clearly see the United States are focussing more on Iraq and Iran. This month they conducted 'only' 170 reconnaissance missions over North Korea, according to a report by North Korean state media.

Last month, North Korea accused the US of conducting 190 spy flights in January, while back in November they conducted 210 flights.
The Pentagon never comments on these accusations, but do confirm they keep a close eye on the country.

"American aircraft, including U-2s, RC-135s and EP-3s, conducted surveillance on "strategic targets" and "key military targets" in North Korea from skies over the South, the North's official Korean Central News Agency reported, citing unidentified military sources."
