 VPN I understand as it helps Iranians receive US propaganda but VPS and domains? As for the legality of what NC is doing ... I guess there is zero leverage for you and they just cut ties with sanctioned individuals to avoid trouble.

I think the argument is that any economic activity that brings funds into the country leads to the regime getting money to fund terrorists. Clearly if you pay taxes on those funds and also if you don't but buy tomatoes and the tomatoes guy pays taxes ...

You know I want these sanctions to end but being scared by OFAC rules myself, I understand how US companies don't take them lightly.

With these sanctions they can't stop aggression. Quite the opposite is true. "When goods don't cross borders, soldiers will."

Good luck for you and your family ❤️.
