War of words better than war of swords

Iran threatens to sue Google over dropping the name of the Persian Gulf from Google Maps.  See

Probably Google was caught between a rock and a hard place because Arabs want to call it the Arabian Gulf. 

Maybe the best way of dealing with Iran's supposed development of nuclear weapons is to sue them over violation of the nuclear non-proliferation treaty.  Sure, it was signed during the Shah's regime, but the current government has not withdrawn from the treaty as has North Korea according to Wikipedia's List of Parties to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.
