Quote from CalTrader:

The answer is that they dont need to take you as a customer and can refuse your business based upon exactly what they told you.

If you dont like their response then attempt to sue them: get a lawyer. My prediction is that you will get nowhere but its your money and if you want to throw it away then more power to you.

Stop complaining and find a workaround solution : just dont violate and country laws or expect - in the current environment - to be prosecuted if you get caught .

Let them come and get me then , cheaper and easier way of
doin it

Quote from TorontoTrader2:

There is a national list of "banned" counties where you cannot open accounts for those citizens. I think it would be on the www.ida.ca web site or somewhere similar

This is the link:

But this is a list of "band" countries, but there is exception
for it's nationalilties depand if they live and work permanently
in another foriegn countries

What he can do which is more productive than receiving advice from all these 'jailhouse lawyers,' is to find out what is the correct determination for a compliance department to make regarding your application.

If the regulations are in your favor, then you can communicate with the compliance officer at the brokerage in question asking him to process your account accordingly.

It's a good advice, but i didn't tried it, because i tought
calling them over the phone is not convincing for them.

If i were living in United state, i could go to them personaly
which were best solution.

Anyhow since last two days i have been in contact with
other firms and forget this firm until they inform me if
situation changes in future as what they stated in their
email to me.

No, you don't need to sue Iran, because the country is
already fucked up due to boycott from many US allies.
Don't get me wrong Still i love US and Americans, and it's
in my future plan to move in near future.

It's all Iran's government who is to blame and not US.

The only thing that surprise me here is why this brokerage
has different internal policy with regard to Iranains than
other US brokerages? I think because they are huge and
don't want to make any risk for having my business.
