Wiring money to Iran

With the current embargo in Iran, is it possible to have money wired via Western Union or moneygram?

Thanks

The only way to get money to Iran is by private means, through a carpet-shop or jeweller for example, who usually have accounts in Singapore, Dubai or elsewhere that they can do a cash advance on with Visa/MasterCard. However, they will charge an excessive amount for this, usually 10-15% of the total you want to receive. So, you must bring everything in cash to Iran, this way is only to be used in a dire emergency.
