This is an excellent idea.

A no-fly zone is the legal equivalent of a naval blockade, but it can be used selectively to stop all military flights and all rocket launches. Because all of Iran’s neighbors are now on 15-minute notice against massive missile attacks with an expanding target radius that will soon encompass Europe and the United States, the crucial point is to stop Iran’s missiles from being launched in the first place. If someone is pointing a gun at your heart, make sure they aren’t able to pull the trigger.

The Obama administration has been reluctant to be perceived as meddling in the middle east, the progressive orthodoxy has a knee jerk hostility to the US asserting its interests. But this could be sold as means of supporting the Green Revolution bringing about a new Iran that recognizes it's citizen's human rights and unclenches it's fist in dealing with it's neighbors.
