If they can pull stuff like that, why can't we? Imagine how mad the mullahs would be if an ordinary, American tennis-player refused to play against something like an Iranian or a Saudi on the grounds that he would not support the Arabian or "Persian entity". Just imagine what would happen if an American did something like that to someone due to his nationality or religious beliefs. The world would freak out, but when it's an Iranian being blackmailed by his government into not playing against a Jew, or simply an Israeli, they apparently have every right to spit on the ideals of the Olympics and sport in general. Oy... I say ban Iran(has a nice ring to it, doesn't it?) just for the hell of it, and see how they like it.
