Yeah but now the US congress passed a bill where they can't sign a nuclear deal with Iran unless Iran cuts ties with China and unless China stops committing genocide against Uighurs. How can Iran even control what China does to the Uighurs ?
Furthermore the Americans won't even give Iran any guarantees. They won't even guarantee that under Biden, that the US will stick with the nuclear deal.
The JCPOA was a compromise but the Americans it seems are not interested in compromise and the terms they're asking from Iran are equivalent to Iran becoming a vassal. Giving up its allies, giving up its missiles, what's next ? We all know what comes next. So Iran might as well go nuclear to ensure its security.
20-30 years down the line the world will have to accept it, just like they had to eventually for China. If not give it 40-50 years. Who cares, there's nothing more precious than safety and security. Sanctions are one thing, being bombed and invaded is another.

In my opinion Iran uses the threat of nukes as a negotiation tactic and distraction from the real issue. Which is Iran's support of allies like Hezbollah, AnsarAllah, Syria and Gaza which challenge the American hegemony in the region. Iran won't be able to ask for any concessions if it tests a nuke, now at least they can have agreements like JCPOA, post-nukes Iran will get N. Korea like treatment.
