Frankly I don't see why we should be surprised that Iran would want nuclear weapons - US actions have proven that they only invade countries which don't have nuclear weapons, and the US is camped out on their doorstep.

Given the action in Iraq, why would any longer term planner in Iran think they are safe from a made-up pretext for invasion?

PS: Your comment on Iranian future energy needs is on the money. Nigeria too will need to think about its future energy needs given its population and rate of increase. Everyone "wants in" to the good life, sponsored by energy. Well once all these somewhat 'behind the curve' nations start burning the midnight oil for their own purposes, you can be damn sure they'll want to protect their own futures. Just wait until these nations become convinced they have to start a little hoarding program...
