Short of occupying Iran, there is no way to stop them from gaining nuclear arms if they so wish. We can destroy facilities but the knowledge remains, and they can rebuild their program again and again. Another point is that if the Iranians value a nuclear weapons program I think they would have it spread around the country, so there could be the main facility but there's nothing to say they haven't got other compounds hidden underground throughout Iran.
That's the sad truth of the matter, Israel and the US or any other nation for that fact can bomb parts of Iran to their hearts content... but we can't stop them forever. As much as I hate the Iranian regime, there's nothing we can do to stop them... a ground invasion would just radicalise the population and make Achjaminidad's (sp?) position stronger.
