Qs&As: All You Need To Know About U.S. Sanctions Against Iran

By Erich Ferrari

Aug 5, 2010, Washington D.C. – We have received numerous questions from the Iranian American community in connection with the Comprehensive Iran Sanctions, Accountability, and Divestment Act of 2010 (CISADA). Some pertain to the Iranian Transaction Regulations (ITR) and some to how CISADA will impact the ITR. I will try to directly answer some of these questions below.

Q. Will the importation of rugs or carpets from Iran still be allowed?

A. The hard and fast answer to this is no. The importation ban in the CISADA is very broad. All importations of goods, services, and technologies from Iran into the U.S. are banned, unless they are specifically exempted under the ITR. However, OFAC may maintain the current general license for the importation of carpets/rugs once they amend the ITR to reflect the mandates of CISADA.

Dr. Kaveh Alizadeh Provides Life Changing Medical Treatment To Iraqi Boy

By PAAIA Editorial Staff

Aug 4, 2010, New York, New York — Thanks to renowned plastic surgeon Dr. Kaveh Alizadeh, an Iraqi boy who was dreadfully injured after setting off an improvised explosive device (IED) has been given a second chance at life.

Nine year old Waad Baktar was playing with his friends in the outskirts of Baghdad when he mistakenly set off an IED, which left him without an arm, a leg, and eye and any hope for a decent future.

An American Soldier stationed Iraq brought Baktar's predicament to the attention of the Global Medical Relief Fund; a Staten Island based charity, which arranged for the boy's travel to New York for medical treatment at no cost to Baktar's family.

PAAIA Welcomes Appeals Court Decision In Mattel v. MGA

By PAAIA Editorial Staff

Aug 1, 2010, Washington, D.C. — On July 22, 2010, the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals overturned a District Court ruling that awarded Mattel, Inc. ownership of the Bratz product. The ruling is a major turnaround for MGA Entertainment Inc., and its Iranian born CEO and founder, Isaac Larian, in its long running legal battle with Mattel over the fashion doll line.

The decision reversed a 2008 copyright infringement victory for Mattel. The suit alleged that the designer who created the Bratz line was working for Mattel when he conceived the idea and design for the dolls. The ruling gave Mattel ownership over the Bratz dolls. MGA was ordered to transfer all products and assets associated with the Bratz line to Mattel.

Pink Floyd Backs Iranian Protest Song

Art review by Peter Hutchison, Los Angeles Times

July 30, 2010, Washington, D.C. — "The 1979 song, which was released in the same year as the Islamic Revolution, has been reworked by two exiled Iranian brothers.

Roger Waters, a founding member of Pink Floyd, gave the rights to Blurred Vision, a duo living in Canada, to remake the classic under the title Another Brick in the Wall (Hey Ayatollah, Leave Those Kids Alone)."
