CJ, from the NYTimes article:
At the center of the debate is the murky question of the ultimate ambitions of the leaders in Tehran. There is no dispute among American, Israeli and European intelligence officials that Iran has been enriching nuclear fuel and developing some necessary infrastructure to become a nuclear power. But the Central Intelligence Agency and other intelligence agencies believe that Iran has yet to decide whether to resume a parallel program to design a nuclear warhead — a program they believe was essentially halted in 2003 and which would be necessary for Iran to build a nuclear bomb. Iranian officials maintain that their nuclear program is for civilian purposes.
Check out the words "parallel program." In geometry, parallel lines ran in the same direction.

There is no reason Iran wants to pursue a nuclear research program if it cannot be applied toward weaponization or other project that would increase Iran's influence in geopolitical affairs.

And considering the fact that Iran is already waging proxy wars against Israel, and the fact that Iranians continue to shout "Death to America" and "Death to Israel," I think it's clear what Iran's intentions are with its nuclear research program.
