Minor detail: The company that owns my company makes truck parts. They do business with Iran. My job is essentially government contracting, so I often have to sign forms that say we do business with Iran. It doesn't prevent us from doing business in the US. It's just a form you fill out and submit along with your bid. If anyone at the buyer has an issue with the Iran thing, they can throw our bid out because we do biz with Iran. But they don't. I honestly don't think anyone reads that form; in today's globalized economy it just isn't practical to think your little form can stop a $50 bn company from doing business wherever the fuck they want to.
