There is this:
Make Iran Feel the Pain

The international community, led by the U.S. and the U.K., is now developing and debating new economic sanctions against Iran. This third round will be pivotal -- either by significantly increasing the cost to Iran of continuing to engage in illicit and dangerous activities, or by showing the regime that it can outlast whatever symbolic measures are levied against it without fear of being bled financially.
The first two rounds of targeted and graduated sanctions have failed to change Iran's nuclear calculus. Iran's chief nuclear negotiator continues to meet with senior EU officials, most likely to buy time, while Tehran refuses to accede to demands that it freeze its uranium enrichment program.
U.N. Security Council Resolutions 1737 and 1747, passed last December and March respectively, signaled seriousness about using financial measures against Iran. The first declared an international consensus to sanction Iran, and the second to target banks. In particular, Russian and Chinese support for these resolutions shocked Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Iran saw first-hand the weak U.N. pressure on Saddam Hussein and expected no worse treatment. Mr. Ahmadinejad reportedly predicted that neither Moscow nor Beijing would sign off on these resolutions. Their passage made the country's professional classes, which are proud of Iran's integration in the international system, feel the sting of diplomatic and economic isolation.
So, basically, Iran is killing our soldiers, training others to kill our soldiers, providing weapons to kill our soldiers, and, oh yeah, developing a nuclear weapon which just might be able to kill a whole bunch of our soldiers. And our reply is to (unsuccessfully) make Iran an international pariah.
Call me crazy, but I think that the proper response to the above provocations should be for us to kill their soldiers, train others to kill their soldiers, provide weapons to kill their soldiers, and, since we already have a nuclear weapon, threaten to use it to kill a whole bunch of their soldiers. Of course, we’d need to have a president like Reagan so the mullahs would know we just might not be bluffing.
Levitt’s plan is what Netanyahu recommends as well.
