From July 2017:

Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) is under investigation for allegedly selling goods to a person on the federal government’s terrorism list, possibly violating sanctions against Iran in the process.

In its quarterly report to investors, Amazon said it sold approximately $300 worth of goods to an individual blacklisted by the USA government under Executive Order 13224, which was signed by President George W. Bush in 2001 and aims to “disrupt the financial support network for terrorists and terrorist organizations”.

The consumer goods, valued at $24,700, were sold to an Iranian embassy in another country.

“In 2016, we determined that we processed and delivered orders of consumer products for certain individuals and entities located outside Iran covered by the Iran Threat Reduction and Syria Human Rights Act or other United States sanctions and export control laws”, Amazon said in the 10-Q filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
