I don't think Iran really wants nuclear weapons. It's just the only leverage they have.

Leverage into sanctions and political sidelining?

Great strategy.

Well, Iran gave up on all nuclear facilities after JCPOA. Yet, the Trump administrations doubled down on sanctions. The country is now miserable.

At that point the only leverage they have is to bring back nuclear activities because without it you're left with absolutely no leverage.
