The current restriction applies to TOEFL and GRE testing services within Iran, not to Iranian nationals testing in other countries. Iranian nationals may take the TOEFL or GRE test at available testing locations outside Iran, subject to applicable registration requirements and appointment availability in the selected location."},{"title":"Why is TOEFL and GRE testing no longer available in Iran?","accordionContent":"The U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) suspended General License G, which had authorized TOEFL and GRE testing and related educational services in Iran. ETS is therefore required to stop providing these services in Iran to comply with U.S. sanctions law. This is a regulatory compliance requirement, not an ETS business decision."},{"title":"What will happen to TOEFL and GRE appointments already scheduled in Iran?","accordionContent":"\u003cp\u003eAll future TOEFL and GRE appointments within Iran will be cancelled.

After that date, ETS will be unable to process new score-report requests for test takers located in Iran at this time."},{"title":"When will TOEFL and GRE testing resume in Iran?","accordionContent":"There is currently no confirmed timeline.
