The conflict in Iran is just about power and influence. Iran wants to be the regional power and nuclear power and weapons will do that for them. I honestly don't think Iran will give nuclear weapons to terrorists because being blown back to the stone age by the US doesn't help their goals.
When I look more into this it seems that nuclear weapons aren't the sole focus but the nuclear power Iran will receive. Once they are able to build nuclear power plants, they will be able to sell electricity and power to neighboring countries, solidifying their regional power status.
Also, if Iran does get nuclear power/weapons, they will probably internally become more progressive to ensure their stability.
