Could compromise be possible if the U.S. can't destroy them?

Compromise?
Compromise is not part of the agenda. The Americans want Iran to work in their interests. The Iranian regime works for its own nation, and will certainly not work with the same nation that propped up the Shah that tortured Iran for over two decades just so Iran would only work under American interests.
The only solution for Washington is to force the Iranian regime out of power. They know that there is little popular support for a war, hence why the CIA backs anti-Iranian (minority) factions that conduct terrorism within Iran. This is all about intimidation.
Other methods have included sanctions on Iranian industry in an effort to break the Iranian people through attrition, hoping that such efforts would create a divide that pits the Iranian people against its government. Unfortunately for the West, Iranians are not ignorant of history and know exactly what the alternative is to their current regime- imperialist exploitation and totalitarian government.
So before talking about "compromise", go talk to the Iranians about what "compromise" means to them. I don't think the "compromise" that Fox News describes is what the Pentagon has in mind

Maybe somehow Ireal, Iran and the US can get in a room and talk it out somehow? It seems like Iran's fear of having its regieme changed is driving the whole issue. Maybe we the US and Iran signed a non-aggression pack.

I think Iran needs the bomb. They will get the respect they need and won't be under threat from Israel or the US.
They get pushed around too much and endure constant harrassment. No country deserves that.
Having a nuke got North Korea the respect it needed. Hopefully it will work for them too.
No country should push around another.

What about the people who live in that country? Are they happy with the regime they live under in your opinion?

Satellite launched MOAB or a combination of MOAB and air fuel bombs will wipe out the installations. a non nuclear option, one of shock and awe.
I am very disappointed in the one sentence look at m link post. you get a F minus
if a base has no way to get in or get out. resupply oxygen or food and water its still a dead base. nuclear fuel need a lot so stabilization to keep the machines of processing usable material.
