1. Destroy the Iranian oil fields Without the money from the export of oil there is no money to operate the Iranian Nuclear facilities. The Iranian Nuclear facilities will be nothing but useless hardware without money to operate them. I do not recommend a direct strike on the Nuclear facilities themselves because the Nuclear facilities themselves are located in heavily populated areas. It will be almost impossible to prevent Civilian Casualties if Israel makes a direct strike on Nuclear facilities that are located in Civilian Areas. The oil fields are located in areas with little or no Civilian Population. Few if any Iranian Civilians will be killed or injured if the Iranian oil fields are attacked instead of the Iranian Nuclear Facilities. It is particularly important to avoid Civilan Casualties because any strike on Iran will require the cooperation of the Arab neighbors of Iran, in particular Saudi Arabia. Iran is a Persian Nation and looks down on it's Arab neighbors. The Arab neighbors of Iran resent that. However if Civilians in Iran are killed in an air strike, that will destroy any support that Israel has from the Arab neighbors of Iran. Also if any Iranian Civilians are killed that will destroy support for the reform movement in Iran and will create Civilian support for the current Iranian regime. Also if Israel destroys the Iranian oil fields, that will increase the amount of oil that Saudi Arabia can export without depressiing the price of oil. That will increase the oil revenues for Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia is pinched for money right now. Saudi Arabia would welcome the extra oil revenue right now. . All Saudi Arabia has to do to help Israel is permit the Israelis to fly over Saudi Territory without interference. Saudi Arabia has privately given Israel permission to fly over Saudi Arabia to attack the Iranian oil fields. Saudi Arabia denies that in public. However you will find that if Israel decides to destroy the Iranian oil fields, Saudi Arabia will say that it's aircraft radar mysteriously went down just about the time that Israeli Aircraft flew over territory of Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia will make the necessary complaints to the United Nations to cover themselves. Then Saudi Arabia will laugh all the way to the bank and Iran will be without money to operate it's Nuclear facilities.
2. Show them, up close, how the nukes go off.
3. air-strike bomb Iran's nuclear facilities.
4. U.N. sanctions and let Israel deal with it themselves they know how to effectively protect their country and are very very good at it.
5. Take the advice of the first poster~make Iran a non profitable country
6. Just give Israel the OK to bomb their nuclear facilities. The only reason they haven't done so up to now is that Israel knows it has to get permission from the US before it does anything.
7. mike is probably right,, tho an oil embargo means iran either lives with slo starvation ,,,removes the blockade with inadequate naval force , use land assets to get oil elsewhere, use nukes (on who?) they were going to lose anyway.Maybe the military will arrest ahmajinijad,,,put a more moderate cleric in charge,have elections again.I don't know how it will turn out if other means fail,Israel would have to seize each facility,laboratory,storage area,which are everywhere in civilian areas,,,,,,,,,,,,,a big,messy job.
