there's really no Osirak-type resolution of the problem - a quick surgical strike, in and out. By most counts, there are upwards of a couple of hundred potential sites spread across a wide range of diverse terrain, from remote mountain fastnesses to residential suburbs.

Only a direct and unambiguous message will do the job. Identify the probable largest such facility and destroy it, Along with all power generating facilities serving Teheran.

No positive response? Go on to the next pair of targets and see who runs out of resolve first.
