NK reprocessed their own spent plutonium rods, a totally different process, and technically very simple, than reprocessing spent uranium.

Again technically true -

....however IMHO you are missing the entire point:

Why the H-ll provide Iran with fuel rods that within a matter of months can (and likely will be) converted in plutonium based weapons

Reports indicate that the Russian built Bushehr power plant - once operating in 2010 - would generate enough plutonium for up to 12 to 16 weapons PER YEAR

Thus making all the current international fuss and hand-wringing about refining low-grade uranium totally meaningless
