Thanks @spot for sharing historical context here.
I know the topic has come recently with regards to Syria and the potential lifting of the Syrian sanctions, but the Iranian issue is more complex. Also like @spot said, many of us think this sucks and it goes against the values of Free Software that underpin a project like Fedora. I even wrote a personal blog post about this a few years ago before I began working at Red Hat:
There will not be an official response here, like @spot said. Because of the current situation, I don’t see this changing at the present moment either. If the situation changes in the future like we are seeing with Syria, then we can always revisit. But for now, there is not much to do about this.
