Just posting it here because we had that topic a while back about doing such a thing.

It is rather long and I found it interesting. Mostly for the cultural issues involved and need to stretch them, sort of.
As an aside I wonder a lot if it wasn't in Iran's long term interest to be under sanctions. They had to develop their own economy and find ways to make things work. Needless to say they are the least impacted by the current low oil prices.
But I ain't there and have no real clue as to what the ground looks like or them sandals wear like. Just an odd thought I have been having lately.
Hope you are having a good day,
