Why should Iran always have problems with their nuclear programs?
While Iran has the right to have a program to produce nuclear energy in accordance with IAEA guidelines and oversight. However, Iran has repeatedly prevented IAEA inspectors from visiting sites where nuclear weapons are rumored to be in production. As a result, the United States and most European states are very distrustful that Iran is engaging in a peaceful nuclear energy production program and believe that Iran intends to create nuclear weapons. The Western States also categorically opposes Iran having a nuclear weapon given that Iran has expressed militancy towards and supported/founded militant groups that act throughout the Middle East. If Iran embraces a more moderate regime and makes clear that they are willing to work within IAEA parameters, Iran should not have a problem with its nuclear program.
Why does Iran need a nuclear bomb and will it get one?
There are two questions here. Why does Iran need a nuclear bomb? -- Iran does not NEED a nuclear bomb. Iran WANTS a nuclear bomb since having a nuclear weapon would, in Iran's view, lessen the advantage that Israel has over its neighboring Islamic States. It would also be a symbol of Iranian power and a projection of Iranian influence and civilization. When will Iran have a nuclear bomb? -- The timeline for Iran gaining a nuclear weapon is unclear. It is likely that Iran will have sufficient fissile material to make a bomb by late 2015 or early 2016. However, the Israeli Mossad has performed a number of operations aimed at delaying the creation of such a weapon.

As a result, the United States is very distrustful that Iran is engaging in a peaceful nuclear energy production program and most European nations share the US's skepticism on the matter. The United States also categorically opposes Iran having a nuclear weapon given that Iran has expressed militancy towards and supported/founded militant groups that act against a number of key US allies in the Middle East, like Israel, Saudi Arabia, and the Gulf States.Since I do not work for the State Department, this is the policy as far as I understand the State Department's articulations on the matter. As a result, take the answer with a grain of salt.
Why are world leaders afraid of Iran's nuclear program?

That combination makes other countries less interested in having a nuclear Iran.
