Because Iranian oil will run out in about 100 years and they need all the oil they can for export as that is one of the primary sources of revenue for Iran. More money can be made by exporting oil than can be made using its own supply. Second, the US did not have any problems with its puppy-shah wanted to build 20 reactors. The grief the US has over Iran's nuclear industry is not based on geology but politics.

Secondly, to my knowledge uranium enrichment's sole purpose in this case is enriching it for weapons

Incorrect. The purpose of enriching Uranium is to enrich Uranium.
LEU (3-5% 235U)is used for reactors
HEU (5-20% 235U) is used for different nuclear purposes including reactors
WGU )92%+ 235U) is used for weapons and some types of reactors

As for my opinion, if any country refuses IAA inspections that facility should be destroyed immediatly no questions asked.

Would that include US nuclear facilities that are excluded from IAEA inspection? One of the perks of being one of the original five is that all five countries are exempt from mandatory IAEA inspections. We only allow IAEA inspectors in to select facilities and only when we choose to allow them to inspect.
Iran allows IAEA inspections of its declared facilities. Now that they have declared another one, the Inspections will include them
