Why is it certain that opening up Iran would lead to Civil war?

When I read your first paragraph I assumed you were referring to these mom and pop kinda shops going out of business once the economy develops, replacing them with cookie cutter malls or online retail.

I believe he's saying the opposite -- it will open back up after the civil war.

sorry i may not have expressed my thoughts correctly.

Repression tends to lead to explosive results in the shape of civil war. See arab spring, syria, etc.

I don't think it has much to business (insofar tourism is concerned), but more about tourist sites being potentially destroyed.
