How about Iran stops sponsoring terrorist organisations and quits playing games with a nervous world regarding their "peaceful" nuclear ambitions?
Iran has done their part as well to bring the rhetoric and saber rattling to where it is now, to pretend otherwise is naive or disingenuous.

I see this argument repeated by the Iranian apologist crowd quite often on ATS.
How exactly does "the regime occupying Jerusalem must vanish from the page of time" and "wiped off the map" differ in this context?
On one hand "wiped off the map" implies the abolition of the modern Israeli state to be replaced by a greater Palestine.
On the other saying that "the regime occupying Jerusalem must vanish from the page of time" is a more melodramatic reference to the abolition of the Israeli state to be replaced by a singe Palestinian state.
It means the same thing.

For the record I believe that diplomacy, not force is the solution to the current quagmire.

Netanyahu: I Will Attack Iran Alone if Necessary

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu promised on Monday that by the time his term as Prime Minister is over, Iran will not have a nuclear weapons program.
Speaking to Channel 2, Netanyahu said that if it is necessary, he will lead an independent Israeli attack against Iran, even without the support of the United States.
“When former Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion declared the establishment of the State of Israel, was it with the consent of the Americans? When former Prime Minister Menachem Begin bombed the Iraqi nuclear reactor, was that with the consent of the Americans?” asked Netany

By all means Bibi, go ahead - alone.
But no... we all know he wont do it alone. By the time he'll strike iran he'll also stage a supposed "iranian" attack against the us fleet, getting the US instantly on his side against iran - I dont think the US can avoid a war against Iran.

Sure we can. We just tell Israel that if they take military action of any kind against Iran for any reason whatsoever...we just go ahead and level Israel instead of Iran.
Problem solved.
P.S OP , regime occupying Jerusalem = Israel. Iranian political ,religious or whatever leaders never ever ever ever officially use the name Israel.

"What is this talk about us being the ones to decide alone about our fate and not take anyone else into account?” said Olmert. “Someone please explain to me exactly with what planes we’ll attack if we decide to attack alone contrary to the opinion of others? Will it be aircraft we created here? With which bombs we will bomb? With bombs we made? And if we find that we are missing something, who will we ask for it? Those in the face of whom we spit today? The one that we have done everything to ensure that he will not be president of the United States?”
