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.
