The US has no issue with Iran having 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 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.

Should India go ahead with nuclear tests?
India is a growing economy. So for a growing economy energy is the most important thing. My personal view is India must do more nuclear test but not in next 5/6 years. We have just signed the nuclear deal. So we need all the technology for our civilian nuclear program which was denied to us. The world economy is in recession and we are facing the worst drought in 30 odd years. So the time is not right. India has no ambition of pilling up nuclear arsenal. We want to have a minimum nuclear deterrent which will make our neighbors think 100 times before attacking us. I do believe we have a minimum nuclear deterrent. So once we are in a great economic position and we have all the technology for our civilian nuclear energy program we can go for a testing. We have not signed the CTBT. So testing is not a problem for us. Nuclear testing will bring with it a lot of sanctions. But I have no doubt like 1998 we can face the sanctions. But we need to carefully calculate the timing of our test

No, the first notice we had was their successful 1949 test. We were just beginning to setup surveillance systems at that time, in expectation that they would eventually develop nuclear weapons, but did not expect to see positive results on what was an early practice sampling flight.
