How about bar Iran from importing gasoline. Use our Navy to prevent it from being shipped to Iran. The Mullahs dismantle their nuclear program, or their nation comes to a halt.

An embargo is an overt act of war, you can’t treat it like a separate measure from all out war. Also there’s no way to enforce a naval blockade against Iran without destroying the thousands of surface to surface missiles they have dug into the mountains that line the Persian Gulf. You should also aware that Iran borders the Caspian Sea. We have no unilateral way of dealing with that border, we need at the very least for Russia to agree before we can even think of preventing gasoline from entering Iran. Otherwise a fine idea.
