One could ask, who is giving Iran and North Korea this technology? Most of it they aren't developing themselves.

Why do you say that? Iranian engineers are incredibly talented.
It's not meant as a slight against Iranian engineers, I believe Iranian engineers can be as talented as any engineers in the world. I just imagine they may be resource constrained. So the question is more about geo-politics, who stands to gain by transferring technology to the Iranian government that allows them to surveil the Iranian population and maintain absolute control?
