有betty的地方就有答疑~Donations of food and medicine to Iran for humanitarian purposes have always been exempt from the sanctions on trade between the U.S. and Iran, provided the donations are not being sent to the Government of Iran or an Iranian individual or entity specifically designated by the Treasury Department to be working on behalf of the regime.
In addition, in a further effort to help the Iranian people recover and build, the U.S. Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control, known as OFAC, has announced the issuance of a temporary general license to ease financial transactions related to earthquake relief in Iran.
Under the general license, which will be in effect until October 4th, 2012, a non-governmental organization can collect up to $300000 in direct support of humanitarian relief and reconstruction activities in response to the earthquakes. Also, the NGOs interested in transferring more than $300,000 during the 45-day period may apply for a specific license.
The Treasury Department said in a statement that the U.S. Government issued this general license as a demonstration of the U.S. commitment to supporting the Iranian people affected by this tragedy, and responds to the American people's desire to provide immediate assistance.只要出于人道主义援助的食物和药品不直接分派到伊朗政府、伊朗个人或以政体利益为重的财政部发起的组织，这些援助就不受美国、伊朗贸易制裁条例限制。
另外，为了进一步帮助伊朗人民重建家园，美国财政部外资监控局（OFAC）发表临时总许可，以放宽对伊朗地震灾后重建的资金援助的限制。
该许可将于2012年10月4日作废。许可中规定，非政府组织可以筹集高达三十万美元的资金直接用于人道主义援助及地震灾后重建工作。同时，在剩余的45天中，要移交三十万美元以上的非政府组织可以申请特殊许可。
美国财政部发表声明表示，美国政府发布的该许援助了伊朗受灾人民，同时也体现了美国人民及时伸出援手的那份渴望。
