    Xbox network restriction for Iranians


    Hi

    Im wonder why Microsoft stopped it's Xbox network services to 90 million Iranians suddenly 2 years ago but Sony, Nintendo and any other competitors don't restricted their services for Iranians and it's funny its only Azure and Xbox network and Microsoft rewards rest of service and applications work good Microsoft windows 11 can be activated even Microsoft send us SMS in Farsi l.here in iran we pay legally we buy Consoles from Middle men coz Microsoft has no outlets or hardware stores and supports in iran due to current regime problem with the whole free world but we buy the devices legally and we buy games from Microsoft store paying USD(we have to use vpn duo to the restrictions)we have no harm for anyone how on the earth a gamer could coz danger in any kind?!8f there are political issues it should be for other companies but Microsoft Xbox is the only service that suddenly became restricted for Iranians it was working till 2 yrs ago under same situation but they cut it off.but it's so easy to screw Microsoft restriction it costs free dns or vpn services but both dns and vpn make internet slow and laggy.i did some researches Microsoft announced "duo to political reasons we are no longer able to give you access to our services...etc"but i researched even more and i found out there ain't any law that says Microsoft should or shouldn't give Iranians access to Xbox network they've done it just in case! So please if you're a. Microsoft employee explain me why Sony give Iranians access but Microsoft banned us? what's the difference?you both are multinational corporations and if you dear reader are some normal person like me please support me support us because i believe freedom is a right belongs to everyone and no matter how powerful and rich is someone freedom can not be taken.8f you are Iranian spread this msg and reply it and ask others to do the same

    :)

    Hi and thanks for reaching out. I hope you’re doing well. I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user like you and I'll be happy to help you.

    I'm sorry to hear about the difficulties you're facing in Iran. I understand that the sanctions against your country have made it difficult to access the Xbox platform and other gaming services. However, I am not able to remove restrictions or make changes to the policies of Xbox. I recommend reaching out to Xbox customer support for further assistance. They may be able to provide you with more information on the availability of their services in your region.

    Can you please add Iran to your country list? I'm not Iranian, by the way.

    What are sanctions? By the way, I appreciate this. Thanks for the information, man.
    Short Answer: Sanctions are a set of penalties imposed by one country on another country, or set of countries. In the case of Iran, they are economic sanctions. Economic sanctions prevent the sale of goods and services to the country such sanctions are
    imposed upon. An embargo, is a more extreme form of sanctions.

    It is important to note that sanctions can also be imposed on other entities such as companies and individuals or even non profit organisations.

    The U.S embargo on Iran basically prevents any U.S company or financial institution from doing business with either the Iranian state, Iranian companies or individuals. There no chance Microsoft
    will start operating in Iran any time soon.


    Taken from Wikipedia:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanctions_against_Iran#Non-UN-mandated_sanctions_against_Iran

    "The United States has imposed an arms ban and an almost total economic embargo on Iran, which includes sanctions on companies doing business with Iran, a ban on all Iranian-origin imports, sanctions on Iranian financial institutions, and an almost total
    ban on selling aircraft or repair parts to Iranian aviation companies. A license from the Treasury Department is required to do business with Iran. In June 2011, the United States imposed sanctions against Iran Air and Tidewater Middle East Co. (which runs
    seven Iranian ports), stating that Iran Air had provided material support to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), which is already subject to UN sanctions, that Tidewater Middle East is owned by the IRGC, and that both have been involved in activities
    including illegal weapons transportation.[40] The U.S. has also begun to designate a number of senior Iranian officials under the Iranian Human Rights Abuses Sanctions Regulations. On 14 December 2011, the U.S. Department of Treasury designated Hassan Firouzabadi
    and Abdollah Araqi under this sanctions program.[41] In February 2012 the US froze all property of the Central Bank of Iran and other Iranian financial institutions, as well as that of the Iranian government, within the United States.[42] The American view
    is that sanctions should target Iran's energy sector that provides about 80% of government revenues, and try to isolate Iran from the international financial system.[43] On 6 February 2013 the United States government blacklisted major Iranian electronics
    producers, Internet policing agencies, and the state broadcasting authority, in an effort to lessen restrictions of access to information for the general public. The sanctions were imposed to target Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting, which is responsible
    for broadcast policy in Iran and oversees production of Iranian television and radio channels. Also targeted were the "Iranian Cyber Police" and the "Communications Regulatory Authority" which the Treasury Department describes as authorities created three
    years ago to filter Web sites and monitor Internet behavior, while blocking Web sites deemed objectionable by the Iranian government. Currently, under American sanctions laws, any United States property held by blacklisted companies and individuals is impounded,
    and are prohibited from engaging in any transactions with American citizens.[44] In January 2015, the U.S. Senate Banking Committee advanced "a bill that would toughen sanctions on Iran if international negotiators fail to reach an agreement on Tehran's nuclear
    program by the end of June."
