It seems like some of those obstacles are also opportunities. For example, the point about not being able to get a MasterCard or Visa and therefore not being able to use AWS makes me think there's probably an opportunity for a neat business renting out VMs to Iranians with whatever payment they can use.
Of course AWS does a lot more than just rent VMs, but it seems like a relatively straightforward part of the business to copy.
