I don't think so.
Iran really doesn't have anything to gain from nukes, aside from using them as a deterrent to protect what resources they still have left. Iran really isn't in a military position to attack any of it's neighbors, gains nothing by giving a weapon to (mostly Sunni mind you) terrorists who might use it and would be glass in a heartbeat if they actually attacked Israel.
I know there are some religious wackos in Iran who believe in the 12th Imam, but there also are a lot of rational people who wouldn't let a few crazies ruin the party.
Iran also still seems quite a ways from making a real nuke. The method they're using (from AQ Kahn) to refine uranium is slow and many experts think they're running into technical difficulties keeping all those centrifuges spinning.
Personally, I'd be less concerned with Islamic states becoming nuclear powers as I am with Islamic states forming alliances against the West.
