I can't help but feel that the Iranian government (or the Religious leaders, in this case), as well as a few others in that region, desperatly want to show the world that they are not as bad as America and Israel have portrayed them. Consequently, the governments would go out of their way to protect the nuclear facilities and the subsequent waste. So, terrorists do not seem like a legitimate threat in regards to the decision to support or deny the emerging nuclear infrastructure in Iran and various other nations. Now if the region was in the midst of a civil war, I would probably agree with you, but Iran is fairly stable, and most importantly, they want to be on the same stage as the "Big" nations via peaceful methods (peaceful thus far, but if AAmerica keeps jerking them around...), not just terror and destruction.
