US investors feted in Iran despite sanctions uncertainty - FT.com

US investors feted in Iran despite sanctions uncertainty - FT.com:



"They came as American “tourists” and were startled to receive hugs and even free gifts by people on the streets and in the bazaars of Iran.



But unlike most tour groups, this one comprised entrepreneurs, consultants and investors from the US who had travelled to explore the business opportunities available in Iran if international sanctions over the nuclear programme are lifted.



On Thursday, the group gathered at Prive, an upmarket French restaurant in north Tehran, to hear western-educated Iranian entrepreneurs give slick presentations about how a new, investor-friendly Iran was emerging. It was the first time since the 1979 Islamic Revolution that US businesspeople had held a public meeting in the country."
