I think they're developing nuclear technology in the same sense that Kim Il is, to provide them with a feeling of security against military intervention so that they can do whatever they want within their country (for good or bad).
If that nuclear ability was taken away, I don't think you'd find a more agressive Iran, I think you'd find a meeker one. Once the West isn't fearful of Iran using a nuclear option they could probably push them around a lot easier. I think the US wouldn't mind Iran attacking Iraq, it would probably give them a great excuse to either A) fight Iranians or B) withdraw from Iraq and blame it on Iran.
That said, I don't see Iran invading Iraq, with or without nuclear weapons.
