Khameini has repeatedly said that Iran doesn't want to have a nuclear bomb. Even if he was lying, they are years away from developing a nuclear weapon, with sanctions making it all that more difficult for them to obtain the parts and technology needed.

Also, the claim that Ahmadinejad threatened to wipe Israel off the map has been debunked again and again:
