There is a rich vein of rather dark comedy underlying this little story abut Apple removing Iranian apps from the Apple Store. The claimed reason is that the sanctions against Iran mean that Apple cannot host nor distribute such apps. Nor has it kept Iranian app developers from creating thousands of apps for local users and offering them through App Stores outside Iran. Now, Apple is moving aggressively to shut down Iranian apps. The Iranian experience is different, in that it is American law being applied to Iran--of course, Apple being an American company it should obey US law too.
