There is a technical argument for it. Iran has been savagely bullied by the States for many years and the rest of the world is largely playing along because ... well better Iran than them. So in that sense, Iran is a pariah.

But it is grossly unfair, anyone who enthusiastically supports as-implemented US Middle Eastern policy is worse than irredeemable. If Bitcoin pushes back against that policy then I'll shelve what doubts I have about crypto because it would be helping in one of the world's real problems.
