See my post #13. The real threat Iran poses with a nuclear weapon is providing it to surrogates, i.e., terrorists. Any overt attack against Israel or the US would result in the total destruction of Iran. The mullahs know that and are not bent on mass suicide.

The Iranians see a nuclear weapon as insurance against US intervention against them and as a means to achieve regional hegemony using nuclear weapons as blackmail and a means of putting pressure on its neighbors.
