What can be done against Iranian Mullahs?

The most powerful weapon that the Iranian Mullahs have is ideological legitimacy. The validity of Islamism, the idea that Islamic Law should be used as a basis of modern national law, is the key political philosophy undergirding the Iranian Regime. A fight against Islamism is necessary to destroy this air of legitimacy and reveal the Mullahs as power-grabbing dictators as opposed to religious figures, which I address at this Related Question: How do you fight Islamism or Jihadism?The Iranian Regime has an incredible amount of power in international affairs, but is losing the demographic war in Iran. Iranian millennials are incredibly secular, if not closet Atheists, and Western support for these liberal movements against repressive theocrats are key to the marginalization of the Iranian Mullahs and the liberalization of the country. Unfortunately, most Western countries have sided with theocratic elites over their liberal allies in the region.However, from a purely pragmatic view of things that can be done with immediate responses, (1) actually enforce the treaties and UN Resolutions limiting Iranian action (such as ballistic missile tests), (2) boycott the Iranian regime, its products, and its economy (while supporting educational exchange and permitting some forms of AID), and (3) actually show video in the media of Iranian War Crimes in Yemen, Syria, Iraq, and domestically in order to make a clear and coherent case as to why the Mullahs are so worthy of derision and hatred.
