Iran's trustworthiness is in the eyes of the beholder as with any nation. However the US has constructed the "Axis of Evil" and implied Iranian complicity in 9/11. Therefore them having nukes even if they genuinely had no need for them other than defence and it had never crossed the Iranian's minds to use them or any other purpose, is a problem to the US that has made statements to the effect that it will resolve the Iranian problem. Taking this to its logical conclusion, the US would attack Iran which might use its nuclear defence in an attempt to repel the US.
Since you ask, i class Iran as a rogue nuclear state along (in no particular order) with Pakistan, India, Israel and North Korea.
