I don't think it can be disabled. How it would render the content if it was possible? Disabling is applicable to controls.

If you want, consider hiding it.

This is how can you do it with visibility attribute:

And this is how you can do it with jQuery (highly recommended):
hide: http://api.jquery.com/hide/[^],
show: http://api.jquery.com/show/[^],
toggle: http://api.jquery.com/toggle/[^].

If you need to learn jQuery, please see:

Solution 1

Here is an idea: Place something above your IFrame that intercepts user input

Style zIndex Property[^]

This might help:
event.stopPropagation()[^]
