But Iran still wants nuclear weapons in the next 10 years (even much smaller North Korea has nukes).
Iranian goals are to:
1. catch up with the nuclear arsenals of Pakistan and Israel, and
2. get ahead of the arsenal Saudi Arabia has already bought from Pakistan (warheads) and China (missiles) but not yet assembled. see http://www.globalsecurity.org/wmd/world/saudi/index.html
