Trump's Success in Isolating Iran Can Be Seen on a Dubai Menu - Bloomberg

Trump's Success in Isolating Iran Can Be Seen on a Dubai Menu - Bloomberg:

Anyone wanting to gauge Donald Trump’s success in isolating Iran would do well to study the menu at Maryam Sharifi’s restaurant in Dubai.

Iranian businessmen are leaving the city as links with the Islamic Republic are slowly severed, and in July, she began offering pasta and biryani alongside Persian favorites like kebabs and saffron rice to attract a broader clientele. “We had to train our cook to make different dishes,” said Sharifi, an Iranian who moved to Dubai 12 years ago.

The Homa Iranian eatery’s changing fortunes highlight the U.A.E’s crucial role in enforcing U.S. sanctions on Iran, a historic trade partner situated a short sail across the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow entrance to the world’s oil-exporting nexus.
