Clearly, the world can not permit Iran to have nuclear weapons.On the other hand, it is not clear how to prevent them from doing so. Any additional sanctions woulkd not work because the Iranian leadershp fanatics do not care about the well being of their people. The whole nation will become a sea of martyrs ready to go to the Islamic paradise.

The most reasonable strategy is to wait until it becomes clear that Iran has developed a bomb and then destroy all Iranian atomic facilities. To make tis acceptable to the world several nations including US should openly say that this action will be taken the moment it becomes clear that Iran was not truthful saying that it needed enriched uranium for peaceful purposes.
