BREAKING: More companies are now blocking Iranian Students from taking English exams due to Trump's sanctions, and the latest actions are impacting Iranian nationals outside of Iran. Following the cutoff of TOEFL and Duolingo English testing, @Pearson has now abruptly canceled scheduled English-language tests for Iranian student test-takers and invalidated exam vouchers students already paid for, citing U.S. sanctions.
