sanctions have never proved very effective at achieving much except the death of the poorest and weakest (500,000 Iraqi children are said to have died because of lack of medicines between 1999 and 2003)

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "Islamic Republic", but sanctions on any Islamic state would probably cause more problems in the US than in The middle east. Without all of the oil that we get from them, we'd be facing the 70s energy crisis all over again.

Not much, i'm afraid. Islamists are fanatics. You can't change them with economic sanctions. They're prepared to kill and commit suicide for their beliefs, you think a little old embargo will move them? I think not.
This "sanctions" non-sense is pure folly. It will accomplish NOTHING! The only language Islamists understand is violence. Therefore, we must be prepared to dish it out.

Sway the people of the Islamic country to push for change and westerization. Making an extremist way of life an impossibility.

Santions are effective only if all countries agree to abide by it. Otherwise, it's just another thing written on paper without alot of means to enforce it.

Nothing really, they are not aware of Freedom, can't miss that which you never have had. Can't think of a thing, Oh, future, do you think they know about tomorrow?
