Please. Don't tell me you believe this guy won't arm his country with nukes. That's just being naive.
I personally believe Iran has aborted their nuclear weapons program a long time ago. But due to all the recent threats against Iran from the usual suspects I would not be surprised if they would seek nuclear weapons. That being said I still have not seen one iota of evidence proving that they seek nukes.
I challenge you to show me proof. The IAEA report doesn't even have any evidence. The only "evidence" we have seen is unproven leaked allegations from the mainstream media. Sorry, I don't consider biased and untruthful press releases as evidence. Do you?

Of course Iran is developing nuclear weapons and the means to deliver them, it is ludicrous and deceitful to pretend otherwise - more worryingly, they are the obvious prime destination for black market nukes as well as N.K nukes for sale.
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has said that the U.S. orders have discredited the UN nuclear watchdog.
Ahmadinejad made the remarks in an address to a large gathering of people in the city of Shahr-e Kord, in the southern province of Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari Province, on Wednesday.
“Why do you sacrifice the credibility of the IAEA to carry out the U.S. orders?”
“It will be in your interests if you be a friend of the Iranian nation,” Ahmadinejad stated.
Russia on Tuesday criticized the report, saying it would dim hopes for dialogue with Tehran on its nuclear ambitions and suggesting it was meant to scuttle chances for a diplomatic solution, Reuters reported.
“We have serious doubts about the justification for steps to reveal contents of the report to a broad public, primarily because it is precisely now that certain chances for the renewal of dialogue between the ‘sextet’ of international mediators and Tehran have begun to appear,” the Russian Foreign Ministry said.
According to Bloomberg, Russia also said that it suspects “political dishonesty” in the report.
Russia suspects the authors of some of the comments in the report of “political dishonesty and pursuing goals that have nothing to do with the task of eliminating the well-known concerns regarding Iran’s nuclear program,” according to an e- mailed statement sent by the Moscow-based ministry before the report was released late Tuesday.
Allegations contained in the report about a Russian scientist date back 10 years and amount to “nothing new or sensational,” the ministry said.
China warned on Wednesday against turmoil in the Middle East from action over Iran’s nuclear program but declined to comment on the possibility of new sanctions (on Iran), Reuters reported.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei said that Beijing was “studying” the IAEA report, and repeated a call to resolve the issue peacefully through talks.
“I’ve already pointed out that China has consistently advocating using dialogue and cooperation to resolve the Iranian nuclear issue,” he stated during a daily news briefing when asked about the possibility of new unilateral U.S. sanctions on Iran.

Thank you for proving my point
That's a pretty vague report. The worse thing it mentions is that Iran is not wanting to let inspectors in. But we all know that is a lie even. Iran has always been co-operational regardless of what your bastard media tells you.
Who ever highlighted that whole portion of the report really wasted a lot of ink

As usual you see only what you want to see.
It's like arguing with an spoiled infant.
1- Iran is in violation of the Non-Proliferation treaty.
2- Iran has been testing detonators and other components that are only used for nuclear weapons.
3- Computer modeling of a core of a nuclear warhead.
4- Preparatory work for a nuclear weapons test.
5- Developing and mounting a nuclear payload onto its Shihab 3 missiles.
