According to the U.S. Postal Service's own official alert, USPS has suspended acceptance of all mail types — letters, packages, priority mail — destined for Iran since March 3, 2026, due to logistics impacts from the conflict in the Middle East. As of that same page's most recent update (July 17, 2026), the suspension is still in effect.
This isn't unique to the US. As this page is being built, the UK's Royal Mail (since January 8, 2026), Canada Post, and Australia Post have all officially suspended service to Iran or warned that items may be returned — all citing the same regional situation.
For someone who just wants to send a birthday gift or a small keepsake to family in Iran, this means weeks of uncertainty, no guarantee the package will ever arrive, and in most cases, the entire item eventually being returned to sender. None of this has anything to do with how well you packaged or addressed your item — it's completely outside the sender's control.
This is exactly where Soughat Shop's model works differently: instead of a package flying out of the US or Europe and crossing multiple borders, Soughat Shop sources the item directly inside Iran and delivers it straight to the recipient's door from there. None of that process depends on international mail, customs, or regional flight status — the crisis described above simply doesn't touch this path at all.
Use this tool to select your country of origin and see the current, real status for that specific carrier, with a direct link to the official source — not an unsourced claim.
One more practical note: since every one of these suspensions has been announced as temporary rather than permanent, the smart move is to recheck the official source again right before actually attempting to mail something — and this page itself will always show you the same live official links whenever you come back to it.
Skip the guesswork, deliver with certainty

Common questions about the current situation
According to the carriers' own official statements (USPS, Royal Mail, Canada Post, Australia Post), the main cause is logistics disruption and regional airspace closures from a military conflict in the Middle East that began in late February 2026 — not just the usual longstanding sanctions.
Traditional international mail (letters and packages via USPS and similar carriers) is effectively suspended right now. But services like Soughat Shop, which source items directly inside Iran and deliver locally, don't depend on that postal system at all and continue operating normally.
Each row in this table is pulled directly from that carrier's own official page, along with the exact date of its most recent update. For full confidence, you can always click the source link and check it yourself.
For Germany and the UAE, we couldn't find a direct official page addressing Iran specifically. Rather than guess or state something uncertain as fact, we've honestly flagged those two as still needing verification.
No, every one of these suspensions has been announced as "temporary" and "until further notice," not permanent. But since there's no fixed end date, the safest approach is to recheck the official source again right before attempting any real postal shipment.
