TURBOFAC Commentary (126 words)

Notes:

1) Assuming that the second two redacted names are of a person in or ordinarily resident in Iran, which is the only way the license makes sense, the authorization section is notable for the unusual qualifier that the license is granted "to the extent authorization is required". The "TEAR" license is normally only issued when there is significant doubt on OFAC's part as to whether the activities authorized are exempt. Compare 560.540, authorizing the provision of certain internet services "To the extent that such transactions are not exempt from the prohibitions of [the ITSR]". Here, "web hosting and related internet services, dedicated IP, domain registration services [and] email accounts," particularly email accounts, are services arguably exempt from regulation.
