Dell has admitted it violated United States sanctions against Iran.
The company has filed an IRANNOTICE and explained the violation in its latest Form 10Q.
The violation is not serious because the United States' sanctions are very broad, covering "goods, services, technology, information, or support" that could in any way help the nation to develop its petroleum resources. Forget doing anything that could help Iran go nuclear, too.
[...] Dell's violations occurred outside Iran: the 10Q reports that in the first half of 2016 the company sold "desktop computers, computer stands, and a server, and associated warranty support" to the Iranian embassies in Germany and France. The transactions secured "net revenue of approximately 4,998 Euros and realized net profits of approximately 1,231 Euros from the three sales."
[...] Dell's since dissolved those deals and won't provide further support.

And it's not Iran that is the country causing most of the problems in the Middle East for that you will have to look at the USA and its allies like UK and Saudi Arabia.
