THE VIEW FROM TEHRANS TWILIGHT ZONE The United States has even become an excuse for business executives who are hesitant to engage in business with Iran, but as Secretary Kerry stated on Tuesday, “If they don’t see a good business deal, they shouldn’t say, ‘Oh, we can’t do it because of the United States.’ That’s just not fair. That’s 44 not accurate.” Indeed, the United States should not be blamed for the reluctance of international businessmen to participate in the Iranian economy, but neither should businesses see Iran as a new frontier just waiting for investors, the risks beyond just US sanctions are of real concern. 44 Schwartz, F., ‘Kerry Tries to Drum up Some Business in Europe for Iran’, The Wall Street Journal, 10 May 2016, available at: http://www.wsj.com/articles/kerry-tries-to-drum-up-some-business-in-europe-for-iran-1462902185, lasted visited: 11 May 2016. 6
