      On August 28, 2025, the U.S. Department of Commerce (BIS) announced the easing of export controls on Syria. The Final Rule entered into effect on September 2, 2025, introducing the new SPP License Exception which allows exports of EAR99 items without a license.

      Additionally, the U.S. Treasury (OFAC) removed the Syria Sanctions Regulations effective August 26, 2025. ( [Source](https://ofac.treasury.gov/recent-actions/20250825) )

      Please update Fedora’s Export Control Policy accordingly and allow access to `*.fedoraproject.org` domains and `pagure.io` as well from Syria without requiring VPN, I think it's the time.
