I am sure such an option exists but I doubt if it is in the practical and usable pile.
Iran is well advanced down the nuclear road. It will be well nigh impossible to un-invent their knowledge on matters nuclear as they have now succeeded in completing the fuel cycle. Bombs are basically just fuel enrichment gone mad.
George Bush did cite Iran not having nuclear knowledge as one of three things he did not want to see. I think he will have to pass on that one. It is not clear how one can legitimately prevent Iran from proceeding with civilian nuclear power stations.
However, war/attack at this stage seems unlikely. Iran would have to do something fairly drastic to incur that kind of attention. Diplomacy and some sort of verification of their civilian programme seems the only way forward albeit perhaps not as reassuring as one would like.
