Wouldn't surreptitiously "infecting" Iran with Bitcoin be considered an act of terrorism by the Iranian government and could help liberate the country and the whole region? However the US might get a little peeved and go after anyone connected with the project after we start translating it to the languages of sanctioned countries?
You're probably right. I never really understood why anyone would think embargoes do anything but hurt the people and make the sanctioned government stronger. Sadly, for any major politician to suggest its a bad idea would quickly find themselves voted out for being "weak" on whatever.
As for languages, I don't think the gov't would really care about just straight up translation. There are plenty of people outside Iran who speak Farsi.
