First of all, they were enriching uranium openly, not covertly, with IAEE monitoring their every move. Unlike Israel which has undeclared and never inspected nuclear arsenal.
Second, enriching uranium has non-military uses like nuclear medicine (at which Iran is actually a global leader btw).
And third, well, it's easier to get 90% enriched uranium from 60% than it is from zero, in case the ruling changes.
