Why would the US and Israeli governments actually need help from Siemens? Their SCADA equipment is almost certainly deployed widespread across both countries' power plants, nuclear sites, and other locations. And, does anyone actually think that Siemens doesn't supply SCADA equipment to the US government?
I'd also bet that a lot of their SCADA software is reused across multiple industries, so the exposure to attack vectors is probably pretty enormous. Couple that with the "it can't happen to us" mentality that these large industrial companies have with regards to highly specialized software and, well.... what you see is what you get.
