So did the Japanese and the rest of the NATO and South Korea. Because US already had better technology we didn't need to reinvent the wheels. It was a standard economic strategy.

Because we don't want to reinvent the wheels. Iran is capable of building its own nuclear technology, yes, but it will be a lot slower, and more expensive as a whole. It will be less beneficial for Iran to insist on building things on its own.

Not always. I think I mentioned somewhere that sometimes adapting a preexisting technology rather than making one on its own is more economically prudent. Again, reinvention of the wheels is never productive. And having good engineers and scientists doesn't necessarily mean that country will be scientifically advanced. Resources and money are one of the factors, and also the strength of the labor force. As far as I know Russia and and the U.S. both have a lot more engineers and scientists than Iran does, and their economy is also a lot stronger.
Take note that Iran is a third world country who launched a domestic space satellite sooner than South Korea, which is the world's most scientifically literate country and also world's 10th greatest economic superpower. On top of it, South Korea got more help from the Russians. It will give you some general idea of how good Iranians are in adopting and improvising. (Iran uses modified Scud missiles to launch their satellites lol; just how the hell do they manage it? >_<)
