On August 19, 1997, President Clinton
signed Executive Order 13059 stating that virtually all trade and
investment activities with Iran by U.S persons are prohibited.
The U.S. government may allow licensed
exports of agricultural commodities and products to Iran. Licenses
are issued on a case by case basis and with "appropriate
safeguards" by the U.S. Department of the Treasury, Office of
Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). Information regarding the export of
product to Iran including licensing requirements, financing,
credit, government funding and brokering, may be obtained from the
OFAC Web site.
Additional information regarding
U.S./Iranian relations may be obtained by visiting the American
Iranian Council's Web site.
