While the majority of sites list that IP as swiss. Some list is as Iranian:

If it actually were Iranian, then paying in bitcoins would be an effective way around the sanctions. If only Iran were more tech savy, then they could cater to the bitcoin early adopters and provide VPS, domain services, and the like.
