Yes, but not necessarily in our favor. Iran must establish nuclear deterrence at some point, but whether it should be publicized or not is a delicate matter in my opinion.
Your primary threat is the US.
Having the adequate nuclear deterrence will keep them at bay. You don't need to match them in parity like China and Russia are trying now.
This strategy was successful when China was weak half century ago, and NK recently has also succeeded with this strategy.
At least you can see that the US has now more war option on Iran than NK despite Iran is much more powerful than NK.
Having the nuclear deterrence against the US won't necessarily make your 100% safe, but at least you can avoid the imminent fate like Iraq and Libya.
