Does Iran gain anything from making Nuclear Weapons?

Absolutely. Nuclear weapons have been used to end wars (world war II), prevent wars (usa-ussr, india-pakistan) but also trigger potential wars (cuban missile crisis). So we have to be careful as to what safe guards and measures are taken to protect these weapons. If Iran makes nukes and gives them to splinter organizations in Hezbollah or Hamas and they blow it up in Israel prompting an Israeli retaliation which will totally wipe Iran off the map. Iran is just too closely associated with terrorist groups, too militant, too fundamentalist and its rhetoric can only come true with the use of nuclear weapons.

If a man in a neighbourhood yells and threatens another family living in that neighbourhood that he will kill them all, it is common sense that that man be not given a Machine Gun or any other weapon which can kill that entire family, just to be on the safe side. Even though the constitution states he has a right to bear arms.

When did Iran become a failed state?

Ideologically maybe, as for influential, no.

Iran has oil, it is the largest geographical country in the middle east, it is the 2nd largest country in the middle east in population after Egypt, it has a very vast network of terrorist/militant networks in the middle east and around the world and Iran has a great deal of clout in Lebanon, Syria and the Palestinian territories.

Well if they stop threatening Israel every chance they get. North Korea became a pariah state after it developed nuclear weapons, same fate will fall upon Iran.

dude, U.S. wants muslims wiped off the face of the earth and they want to control everybody in the world for their own gain...the difference between iran pres and pres bush, is that one is straight forward, and one pretends to be doing this for the good of the world with alterior motives.
hmm why isnt us doing anything about north korea, they torture people, they have nuclear capabilities, they hate U.S., they r threats to their neighboring countries, y? cuz they can fight back, and U.S. dont like dat..:D
