Kill the rulers, destroy the plants, leave the infrastructure alone and get the hell out and let them rebuild it themselves.

Like I was attempting to point out, the genesis of the mess was created by foriegners themselves...way back some 50 years ago.
The jedi self restraint stuff would have worked wonders back in the 1950s Iran, if the Brits and the Americans had allowed a true form of democracy to take root in that country.
Instead they thrashed it completely, supported a dictator leading to the chain of events to the present day where Iranians would never trust westerners.
