Kaz,I'm not supporting the the clerical fascists and it's likely Iran is probably trying to acquire the know how of developing nuclear weapons so the Mullahs can order one to be built if they feel the regime is under threat with it's very own survival from outside powers but saying Iran would be a lot more aggressive if it was a super power isn't a valid argument against the Mullahs. That argument can be applied to any country so not sure what point you're trying to make there.
Also regarding the MI6 saying what they have said, I wouldn't take that as gospel truth but rather I would treat it with scepticism. After all 16 US Intelligence agencies say Iran decided against developing nukes back in 2003 and that they haven't made the decision to build one. This directly contradicts what the MI6 have just said. The MI6 haven't even been clear (in no doubt due to secrecy reasons) as to what operations they carried out that stopped Iran becoming nuclear by 2008. Even the IAEA (now headed by a US ally) could find no smoking gun.
