There are two native sources of science and technology in the Middle East: Israel and Iran. If Israel can keep Iran isolated, sanctioned, and weak it will collect a greater share of FDI that would otherwise flow to Iran’s vastly larger market of 90 million people. (Israel’s population is 9 million.) Iran’s scientists and engineers have, under threat of sanctions and assassinations, built an advanced nuclear program, a skilled hacking force, and “the region’s largest arsenal of conventional ballistic missiles,” according to the U.S. Strategic Command. With that pedigree, investors will definitely be interested in Iran’s frontier markets, though decades of Western sanctions will slow North American and European businesses from gaining a foothold. สล็อต เว็บตรง
