https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... Sanctions are against the government not the people. no where does it mention you can't sell goods to people from Iran, you couldn't do business with Iranian government, which by the way some of it was lifted in 2015 (Boeing selling airplanes to Iran is one example of US companies doing business with Iran). These are just voluntarily douchey moves by companies which usually happens when they are trying to score some points with the government for other purposes.
