Iran signed the NPT in 1968, which permits signers the ability to perform unranium enrichment and doesn't exclude dual-use. They're still beating that drum today.
As to finding a truly independent thinktank, I'm afraid that's an impossible quest. Every institute is funded by somebody with a point of view. Some are more balanced then others, but that's a matter of perspective. My suggestion is to try to get a consensus from multiple sources and then apply some of your own common sense.
