My theory: Slack did this rough shot to get a deal signed with a major new client and to support the due dil.
Also note that all the major cloud providers in the US do not do business with embargoed countries. They all block IP from Iran, et al. to compute within the US, but allow it to compute within other geos, this extends to tech support, sales, etc.
I'm honestly surprised that Slack users within Iran could access the service running in US to begin with. In all likelihood they could only access edge servers located in other geos in APAC or the EU.
Look closely at everything Slack says in this message and others. "Enterprise Software" is tossed around a lot. They want to be the communications platform for the enterprise and have to meet these standards to compete with other offerings that exist today.
