That sucks. Shouldn't there be a way to work around it though? Something like 'I sell them this pretty logo/picture for 6k and then you sell me a pretty picture for 6k as well.', with me being neither an American nor an Iranian and the picture/logo being very hard to judge in value but easy to make ("art"). You might lose some money to taxation etc here, but hey. Or is there a problem I don't see?

Edit: Hm, anti-money laundering laws maybe?

That _is_ money laundering. Assuming you could find a trusted third party, they'd probably have the same legal restriction, and it's anyway an offence for the Americans to enter into this transaction knowing that the money would go to Iran.

The people I was working with were too cautious on this. I believe they could manage it somehow. I received a 500$ bounty from Facebook through paypal on my Dutch account. The same could be done potentially with them. They thought it is a risk!
