Is this a request to bypass the sanctions?

  Yes. Good.

  No, I'm not asking anyone to bypass sanctions. I'm looking for a partner/co-founder OUTSIDE Iran who would: - Register a US/UK company (legally) - Open their own Stripe account (under their name/company) - I work as a remote contractor/technical co-founder (legal, like any distributed team) This is the same model as any international startup with founders in different countries. I'm not hiding my location - I'm openly saying "I'm in Iran, need a partner elsewhere." If this violates HN guidelines, mods can remove it. Not trying to do anything illegal.

What you are requesting is very illegal.

      ChatGPT does not offer a clear indication that it is blatantly illegal, though the amount of legal risk is high enough that it might as well be.

        ChatGPT isn't even a search engine, let alone a lawyer.
