Infact i disagree completely!
Usa can't just turn off .ir ! Even in event of a war, it has nothing to do with the domain's value, i think it will just go up than down because of the popularity it actually gets! i am pretty sure most people in west didn't even know where Iran was before bushes Axis of Evil Speech!
The market for .IR is very big as there is ALOT of iranians who are outside iran who would love .ir domain as they are very country proud. I just wanted to see if other people from other countries would go for them the same way as .IN ! Even though iran doesn't have the population i can say the growth of internet is much bigger and soon to boom in iran's Business markets!
You seem to be US based, it is illegal for you to even be discussing this with them.
I am based/ Born in UK :cheeky: Though i am 1/2 Iranian!
Though because i have wanted to reg my own .ir domain and couldn't because of my situation in uk, i had to resolve to sending payment via post to get it regged! So i decided to make a service to make it public(internationally via credit cards / paypal) which seems to be getting accepted!
