Don't make the mistake of comparing Iran to the other two countries you attacked. Invading them would only cause the Iranians to rally around their president and the Ayatullahs. Not the other way around.
The present government is a direct result of the mullahs taking over after the ouster of the shah by soviet supported upraising and carter backing. There was no terrorizing under the shah to the extent you claim. About 3000 people, mostly communists were arrested by him. In 1981 those 3000 and 30000 others were executed by the mullahs. The iranians learned all about the real iron fist when the mullahs took over.
The other two countries are being influenced by iran. al queda, the taliban, mahadi army are all supported by iran. iran wants control of the entire area. If we invade iran with an all out effort, the iranian military will be wiped out in three days. And the population will rise up to take their country back. There will then be a democracy or a Marxist government established.
