No. They'll just want everyone to know they have them. A deterrent, scare-tactic and arm-twisting tool.

Israel has nukes, has had them for years and has never threatened its neighbors with them. That is called a deterrent.
Iran has not got nukes yet, and has already declared their intentions of nuking Israel into oblivion. That is called suicidal mania.
Something Islamokazis specialize in.

I don't agree. If Iran only wanted to use its nuclear program for defensive purposes it would announce its position publicly and loudly, just as North Korea did.
The fact that they are denying having a nuclear weapons program suggests much more sinister intentions.
