1) This FAQ predates the reissuance of the ITR as the ITSR, which incorporated the blocking provisions of EO 13599 at 560.211. Refer generally to comments to EO 13599 and 560.211.

2) See the ITSR for definitions/notes thereto of the terms "Iranian Financial Institution" (560.324) and "Government of Iran" (560.304).
