How is that surprising? I thought the renewed interest in civilian nuclear power in the Middle East was pretty widely known.

There's a massive difference between sharing technology on civilian nuclear reactors and giving a country nuclear weapons. That's one of the major pillars of the NPT - countries with nuclear technology will share it with others, in return for those countries agreeing to abide by IAEA safeguards that prevent them from building nuclear weapons.
