Is it legal for a US hosting company to sell hosting to residents of Iran?

I was wondering if it were legal for a US hosting company to sell hosting accounts to customers from Iran or other US trade embargoed country?

a trade embargoed company is not allowed to have any products or services sold to it by businesses in the US. If you did then you can get into major trouble

As the others have stated, no it is not legal. It is also illegal to have customers in Cuba.
