Statement of Licensing Policy for Iran

Consistent with current U.S. foreign policy, OFAC is issuing a Statement of Licensing Policy that establishes a favorable licensing regime through which U.S. persons can request OFAC approval of participation in projects in support of the Iranian people and their aspirations for freedom. The types of activities that OFAC will consider licensing, on a case-by-case basis, include conferences and training programs aimed at supporting democracy, human rights, and democratic institutions; educational, sports, and cultural exchanges; and independent media and environmental programs designed to benefit the Iranian people directly.
