OFAC's answer

No. While the exportation of certain accessories and peripherals specified in categories (1) and (5) of the [31 CFR § 560.540](https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-31/subtitle-B/chapter-V/part-560) List of Services, Software, and Hardware Incident to Communications is authorized under 31 CFR § 560.540(a)(3), the exportation to Iran of hardware parts or components is not.

Requests for specific licenses to export to Iran parts or components, including replacement parts, will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Date Updated: May 16, 2024
