Who has time on their side?
Maybe an all out invasion is the way to go. US,IDF and possibly Gulf Arab states. After the regime is removed a new Iranian military could be created. Regime loyalists could be hunted out. The Crown Prince could be the new Shah, either that or a democratic system with possibly the new Shah being just a figurehead. This would be a great gift to the Iranian people by removing the wicked regime from power. The only nation state threat in the region would be gone once and for all, replaced by a new partner nation and friend.
