Negotiate, negotiate, negotiate. Bombing would just play into the hands of the reactionary power bloc there which doesn't have the steadiest grip anyway, between ethno-nationalist separatist movements in the outlying regions and pro-Western liberal students and middle class Tehran residents, who would likely rally to the regime.

The get the bomb however in 5-10 yrs. or sooner, a regional arms race would ensue, as the other regional powers hardly trust the regime. But, what are concerns about non-proliferation? Just cover for liberal-neo-con imperialism.
