SocietyUS sanctions halt TOEFL and GRE tests in Iran, disrupting study plans

ETS has immediately suspended TOEFL and GRE testing in Iran after the US Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control froze a sanctions exemption covering certain educational services. Students say the move could jeopardize university and scholarship deadlines and force them to travel abroad at considerable cost. ETS says Iranian nationals can still test outside Iran and that it is exploring ways to resume exams.
