Because it's bullshit. I have no skin in this game: I'm no lover of Iran, or hater of Israel. I go by what's likeliest based on factual information. And so far, there is reams of evidence Iran is complying, and scant evidence that it isn't. So my default position remains the same
Rouhani just doesn't strike me as possessing the kind of warlike personality that would desire nukes. Personally, I think Iran's religious leaders have realised that the 12th Imam ain't coming, and are now just looking for a way out, while defending their political interests.

Do you think their political interests (even excluding religion) would not be served by having nukes? And even more by the world believing they would use them? (regardless if they would or wouldn't). Would that not increase their bargaining power in ANY conflict?

Possibly. But we can't know for sure. We can't even be sure what their motives actually are. So speculating on this kind of stuff is rather pointless.
