Nuclear fuel for energy production is VERY different from the nuclear material required to make a bomb.
The one reason that I could think of as to 'why' Iran may even want a bomb is to attempt to counter Israels' estimated over 200 nuclear bombs. (Israel has refused inspection of its' nuclear facilities for many years with no threat of sanctions nor any witholding of U.S. funds) The policy of M.A.D. (Mutual Assured Destruction) seemed to work well during the U.S. and Russian Cold War, so, maybe the thinking is that it would be a stabalizing influence to have some kind of balance of power in the region-? (rather than having one super-power with alleged nuclear devices attempting to run the whole show-?) I'm just wondering out loud.
