I can't believe I am hitting The Rant for this, but having insomnia and before I go to the Commerce Dept. website or State Dept.... here goes...

I received an inquiry for a company I rep, to quote for a sale to a distributor in Iran, ultimately for a fire department (or civil defense) in Iran.

It is still illegal, right?
To do business there?

Thanks!!!

P.S.: the item requested is used for high-rise rescue, not for enriching uranium.

P.S. #2 I think this is my thousandth post!

I thought we were still in the 60 day window for Congress to approve the deal?



ETA: You shoulda' asked the Poliboard.

They'd just call him an Israel-hating anti-Semite Obama sympathizer for even thinking about doing business with Iran. Best to stay away from that place.

Well this is fantastic.

Now we are all gonna be subpoena'd for federal court for whatever shady terrorist deal you are involved in.

Me neither. Don't you have people in your company who know the answer? Even during the worst of times there were exceptions to the embargo and you should have people who know the ins and outs of this. Ask them, not us.

Because he should expect such a reasonable response from people in the OT right?

Maybe you should ask this question of your legal council or a trade group not a bunch of keyboard wizards
