Are the Muslims in Iran following zorastrian tradition?
Zoroastrianism was the main religion of Persia (Iran) before the arrival of Islam. Islam is the religion of Muslims. There are still some followers of Zoroastrianism in Iran as well as in Karachi in Pakistan and Mumbai in India. They are called Parsis.
Iranian Muslims now mainly follow the Shia branch of Islam. They do not follow the main traditions of Zoroastrianism.
It is possible that the Zoroastrian past of Iran has left some traces in modern Iranian culture.
How did Greek forces win the battle against the Persians at Marathon?
First, by a stratagem they were able to convince the Persian commander that the Greek fleet would try to flee through the back entrance to the Strait of Salamis, so the Persians diverted the 200-ship Egyptian contingent to cover that escape route. This evened up the fleets for the main battle.
Second, by positioning themselves inside the Island of Psytallia, this required the Persian fleet to split in two, and each to enter the strait on a narrow front, so that the Greek fleet was able to attack the Persian columns from the flanks. This, and the closeness of the shores minimised the manoeuvre space for the nominally larger and superior Persian triremes.
The Persians were not helped by the fact that they had been sitting at their oars outside the Strait all night to stop an expected Greek breakout, and were tired before they got into the battle the following morning, and a strong wind had raised the waves and pushed against their higher ship sides, making manoeuvre more difficult for them.
The Greeks had tried this at Artemesion opposite Thermopylae and come off second best. This time they picked the right location and overwhelmed the opposition.

Why is Israel allowed nuclear weapons but not Iran?
Answer 1
It is the policy of double standards adopted by the West. They want Israel to be the only dominating power in the Middle East.
US always supports Israel in UN by veto and UN can not have any limitation for Israel.
Answer 2
Iran is a country that has made clearly bellicose statements about how it would like to remake the Middle East. It has endorsed Hezbollah's violent attacks on the Lebanese Government, stalled progress in Syria by arming the vile Bashar al-Assad, threatened the Gulf Countries with violence, claimed a mandate to overthrow Bahrain's monarchy and liberate the Shiites of Bahrain and east Saudi Arabia, it has sent the Al-Kutz forces into Iraq to further inflame religious and ethnic tensions in Iraq, systematically and violently attacked the Balochi minority in the southwest and the Kurdish minority in the northeast, prevented the expression of Sunni Islam in its borders and violently attacked Sunnis gathering to pray - never mind the Baha'i, Yarsan, and Jewish minorities, repressed its own citizens in the Green Revolution of 2009 through violence and intimidation, and last but not least, has made clear that it wishes to remove Israel from the map.
Israel has done nothing even remotely similar. While the Occupation of Palestinian Territories is definitely problematic, it is not a crime or a threat on the order of magnitude of the Iranian crimes.
The West is quite reasonably afraid of a country like Iran acquiring nuclear missiles. This is the same reason why Western countries are opposed to North Korea having nuclear missiles.
First of all, Why would you even do this in America? And Second no its not because it disrespects them and you possibly could get arrested for it.

The United States and many other western countries buys oil from the Islamic Republic.
What are the pros and cons of Iran having nuclear weapons?
I think you mean what are the pros and cons of Iran having nuclear technology. Iranian government claims that they wish to refine uranium in order to further explore the wonder that is nuclear power technology. This would include power plants, and other possible nuclear energy sources.
If I am not mistaken, the amount of enrichment need to create weapons grade uranium (needed to make a nuclear war-head) is a much higher level of enrichment than the level required for nuclear power plants.
New experiments in energy in any country could lead to breakthroughs in energy technology that could benefit the entire world, however, one must wonder why Iran would be so interested in alternative energy when they as a nation are the third largest holder of Oil in the world.
There would be no benefit to America nor its people if Iran obtained nuclear weapons technology at this time. Due to past relationship with Iran (the CIA coup in 1953 & US government support of Saddam Hussein's war against Iran in 1980 to name a few...) the Iranian people have gained a mistrust in American government and relations between the two nations have been tumultuous ever since.
I hope this helps you
