Even if Iran made nuclear weapons they still wouldn't be in any position to attack anyone. I wouldn't be worried about them.
This stuff is just a new prez putting his own men into positions. It happens in every country, even the US. The article made it pretty clear that the diplomats their president is removing are not of the same view as he is. They are pro-western somewhat-liberalized folks, and he is very much not. He'll be replacing them with conservative hardliners which he can control easily, and doesn't have to keep much of an eye on.
Besides, who is Iran going to attack? Would they invade Iraq? They would have to face both the Iraqi army and the American Coalition, as well as (i would imagine) quite a few of the countries who didn't join the coalition for Iraq.
Would they invade Israel? That wouldn't be advisable either. They would only be able to do that by air, and that would get them nothing but paperwork to fill out to replace the planes and to file death certificates. Because not only would they have to contend with our air force/navy planes.. and what (if any) air force the Iraqis now have.. but also with Israel's air force which is extremely well trained and sophisticated.
