They say the nuclear program was supported by the West until the great Islamic revolution in 1979, which is quite logical.
They say that Pakistan could have been a major factor in helping fasten up the nuclear development in Iran.
The information, that I was able to check on the web are mainly unclear and incomplete, this would require more time, effort and insight of someone competent.
Here's something interesting:
?Israel wants to know that if its forces were given the green light they could strike at Iran in a matter of days, even hours. They are making preparations on every level for this eventuality. The message to Iran is that the threat is not just words,? one senior defence official told The Times.
Officials believe that Israel could be required to hit more than a dozen targets, including moving convoys. The sites include Natanz, where thousands of centrifuges produce enriched uranium; Esfahan, where 250 tonnes of gas is stored in tunnels; and Arak, where a heavy water reactor produces plutonium.
The distance from Israel to at least one of the sites is more than 870 miles, a distance that the Israeli force practised covering in a training exercise last year that involved F15 and F16 jets, helicopters and refuelling tankers.

I would dare to say that Israel initiating the conflict instead of NATO is a rather possible scenario.
