There is a third way to confront Iran. Convince the world - Brazil and China especially - to stop buying their oil, at least for a month. Iran is nearly bankrupt. Hyperinflation from overprinting money and the inabiity to pay the Russians for their help on the nuclear reactors they claim is their numbner one priority just proves the precariousness of their economy. So does their high unemployment rate. A month with oil exports - and without gas imports (Iran cannot refine the gasoline it needs on its own) - should get the message across. After that, riots in the streets as rations are cut back should make it clear the regime has to change or risk implosion.
