>Almost all countries follow the US imposed sanctions against Iran. If you don't it will be very hard to do business with anyone in the US

And in my second paragraph, I make exactly that point:

So who guards the blacklist? A central authority like that goes against the whole point of Bitcoin, might as well use Paypal at that point.

A blacklist like you suggest has been tried and shot down many times, for example: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=333824.0
