Case specifications: I am a United States citizen, living in Iran. I work as a contract worker (not employee) for an accredited distance learning institution in the US. I teach their students from here. I do not teach Iranians, nor does any benefit from what I do accrue to Iran or to Iranian entities. The money for my teaching is sent, in Euros, to a bank account in Germany in my name. No money is sent to Iran from the learning institution. I do have an Iranian bank account, but the bank is not owned by the Iranian government, nor is the money in my German account automatically transferred to Iran.
Can you please tell me if I, or the institution at which I work is in violation of the above regulations?

You need a legal opinion, and those aren't free. We can work on this if you wish.
